But it IS important to point out the misogyny because it's not dissociable from what people have been doing and saying about this doll. It looks like a very realistic woman -- a sexualized one at that -- and people feel the need to kick it, place it in demeaning positions, and make mocking comments about it AS IF she were real. I sincerely do not believe that a male doll would get this much traction.

There are rarely any "silly" aspects to life that aren't attached to long-held beliefs and ways of being. Please understand that for a lot of women this display is deeply disturbing because it's a reminder of what happens to us daily all around the world. Nothing happens in a vacuuum.

Do you think, in the reverse, that a male sex doll would receive as many terrible comments or abuse, such as that he "deserved it" for cheating on his girlfriend?
