[On robot sex dolls] "What's outright flabbergasting is the casual
creepiness which still dominates the male psyche."

"A good sex robot, you'd imagine, would be a vivacious queen of cheeky
banter giving you at the very least a fantasy verbal run for your money
half-naked round the garden shed…"

"Here in 2010 meanwhile, what's been advancing backwards for years,
bewilderingly, is women's predilection to behave like sex robots anyway
– dressing like stereotypical prostitutes while evidently believing sex
is a one-way, man-pleasing, performance act of entertainment usually
involving a pole – as we see every day in mainstream culture via music,
magazines, TV, fashion, the internet and the hyper-sexualised high
street."

Sylvia Patterson in the Sunday Herald, on the return of sexism in
contemporary culture, within a supposedly liberated era in which so many
young women see consumerism and self-decoration as the only valid
occupations and their bodies as their only route to success.
