There is no such real thing as "Feminazi" - the radical feminists are more like Stalinists: fantasies of pogroms (see: Julie Bindel) against the "other" (men) and dissidents in their own ranks (such as women who decide to be homemakers). Really, they're like Conservatives, who are in turn just like them. See: Horseshoe Theory.
Some feminists welcome artificial wombs because it frees women from the expectation of childbirth.
Imagine future generations of womankind growing up in a world where women are no longer needed for making children except for their eggs. This is a first step toward that. And that's not the end of the world for women. It's more like the end of the beginning.
Look at how dishwashers and vacuum cleaners worked out - did women think that was the end of the world because so-called "women's work" was in part automated? Noep, noep, and absolutely noep, it freed women to do other things. Patriarchal boneheads at the time complained about women having more free time but in the end only the Tradcon fringe thinks "women's work" is a thing anymore.
The artificial womb will free women from the expectation of motherhood in order to perpetuate the species. markdavis's remark about women being able to build up their professional life without worrying about missing out on motherhood will be just the first symptom of this liberating technology. Perhaps we'll never be rid of the Tradcons, but technology like this will further enable women to not give a crap about what they think.
Wait, companies don't pay wages, actually the consumer does. Lower wages means the company's more competitive. In fact if no one were paid wages, the cost of doing business would plummet and America could out compete the world!
That's like telling Muslims that it's their responsibility for policing terrorists. Thinking like yours is what led to internment camps for Japanese and German American citizens.
Also: what proof do you even have that kick6's friends are raping or assaulting women?
When are you going to ask women to police their female friends about domestic violence? Study after study shows that women are equally as physically aggressive, or moreso, than the men in their relationships. http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert...
The price you pay at the pump doesn't include what you pay in tax dollars for the US military to protect our oil imports, or the terrorism that this breeds.
The price you pay at the pump doesn't include the pollution we all suffer as a result of burning gasoline. There's global warming, for one, which has resulted in the recent spat of horrible weather, record droughts, and poor harvests. Of course Republicans still deny that there's any such thing as pollution, to say nothing of global warming. They think smog is a figment of moonbat tree hugging liberals' imagination...
What is the point of cracking open a science textbook when you are going to be competing with people in Asia who can produce the same level of genius for pennies on the dollar?
I don't care what you can learn here in America, someone in China can learn the same thing and apply that knowledge for far lower wages than you.
Teaching them how to react PROPERLY when their fight or flight response kicks in.
You know, like when your adrenaline levels hit 125 heart beats per minute, and your body goes into its first stage of panic. Things go real weird with the mind at that point. People freeze up or go psycho. Their ability to make rational decisions and think out their subsequent reactions plummets dramatically. Which means everything you just taught them goes right out of the window when a predator jumps in their face. Let's not even talk about when a crisis drives you to 150bpm or higher.
You can't teach people how to adapt to this inside of a day, and without being able to adapt to that 125 bpm level 1 panic mode, anything you teach them is fairly useless.
All companies regard employees as a pain in the ass. Going by the capitalist model, all workers are essentially profit-stealing overhead. Ideally a company with no employees, run entirely by machines, is the most profitable.

You've never lived in Flint, MI have you?
When you run out of money because you have no job.

Those who do the basic workload for standard pay will be replaced by those who give everything they can for peanuts.
Those who give everything they can for peanuts will then be replaced by those who give everything they can for nothing, or next to nothing.
Then those will be replaced by automation.
Then what?

The term you're looking for is not slavery, but the Gilded Age.

^^^ Sarcasm, folks.
You just explained how ALL marginalized groups of people develop resentment for non-marginalized groups of people.
Which is to say that social marginalization is the problem, not nerds.

Republicans supported this when Bush was in office. Democrats opposed it.
Democrats now support this when Obama is in office. Republicans oppose it.
What's wrong with that picture?

You took the words right off of my keyboard with the most inconvenient truth of this entire comment section.
And when that something that goes wrong is a virus, you will curse the day you were born.
Well done for pointing that one out, though. :D

Try moving to China to get a job. I dare you. Good luck with that. Then come back and tell me how artificial those borders are.

both Capitalism and Communism are doomed?

Basic economics works against the working class.
They'll have no US or European market to sell anything to. I wonder how Agile and Scrum will help them then!
Actions trump ideas. Or better yet, actions are ideas. Stated ideas mean nothing; your actions say everything.
Just so you know.
so much as you need a dictionary definition of a sociopath or a psychopath.
Take this definition and compare it to what a corporation does.
he also has a head on his shoulders. You should, like, try it, you might like it.
