>The "Bad Ending" scenario has already happened. There already is a MASSIVE wedge between the sexes
In a way, civilization has been in danger ever since Europe lost the second world war. The people who won that war have been in power ever since and it is their machinations that have caused most of the issues that you would like to resolve.
>both sides are constantly firing shots
by design, yes - women are turned against men and men are turned against women.
>it has been that way for over a decade at this point
try multiple decades.
>Women have had sex toys for decades, and they're no longer hidden, they're displayed proudly in Walmart and Walgreens.
Part and parcel of Global Weimar, along with the popularization of promiscuity, transgenderism, etc.
Men have crippling porn addiction. Some men have the easiest time on the sex market, destroying both them and the women they couple with. The point is, this degradation affects both sexes and in fact stems from a fundamental weakness of an entire past generation of men who should have known better and prevented it from happening. This strength is dormant but is close to being reawakened.
>most young women have no empathy whatsoever for men
I'll be honest with you, chief. I don't think most women had any empathy for men at any point in history, that's just how they function. I also think that past generations of men consciously or subconsciously knew that, and just didn't care much. Yes, it fucking sucks that Disney Love exists only in movies 9 out of 10 times, but giving up because of that disappointment is a sign of personal weakness - a sign of personal weakness that I'll freely admit to myself. You have to be aware that there still are men out there who know how women work, and know how to put them in their place despite it all.
>a good portion of them are outright misandris
there are posts on this board at this moment recounting how their posters hate women. Again, this is being intentionally imprinted onto both sexes - though it manifests in different ways because, obviously, the two sexes are different from each other.
>The robot provides competition, an eternal fallback if anything goes wrong.
That is what I talked about - when used in a moral way, that is without any malicious ideology behind it, robot companions would be an empathetic way of helping society re-regulate itself. If a man (or maybe also woman?) was pushed away hard enough to the point of becoming permanently lonely, at least there would be a crutch in place to dampen the trauma. This would of course be recognized by the people at large, and paired with other means of steering them back towards a healthy functional mode of being, would hopefully make them less... "modern".
>Why not? If you have a cure for a lifelong chronic illness, would you not want that cure to be shared?
I'll be blunt, do not take this for an insult.
I'm a eugenicist at my core. I think that policies and actions that have a eugenic - upbringing - effect on my people are good, and policies and actions that are dysgenic - that have a degrading effect - are bad.
In the current, amoral world, loners recruited as these "preachers" would fecklessly preach an ultimately evil, dysgenic, doctrine of furthering the societal rot, presented to them in an appealing format. Basically, it's like serving a dog poison mixed into its seemingly tasty food, but in a way that somehow then makes the dog spread the poison even further.
In the coming moral world, however - this is the blunt part - in the coming moral world, in which all efforts have been made to steer society back on the right track, towards a society in which the formation of healthy families is not made harder but easier - if someone still manages to be absolutely, unquestionably, hopelessly, permanently lonely in THAT world, then they are not the kind of person you want influencing the opinions of others. You want them isolated and pacified with a robotic companion, but somehow "in the closet" and out of the normal families' earshot.
>That's like saying in 1945 "The atomic bomb may drive a wedge between US and Japanese relations"
What I meant is "make the situation even worse", or "lay the foundations for the final blow".
You're only claiming that the day is lost and that the situation is hopeless because you wish it to be true, not because it actually is.
