Why 'sex robots' will make the world more dangerous for women

It is a truth universally acknowledged that technology is one thing we cannot think of living without. Slowly it has taken over human lives in ways we could not have imagined a decade ago. Right when we open our eyes in the morning till the time we lose ourselves to sleep, almost every single chore that we engage ourselves in involve technology at some level.

Had I been writing this piece some years ago, I would have definitely argued that there are certain spheres of our lives which are untouched by technology, love and love-making for example. A time when couples would hold hands for long while sitting beside each other and experience the reverent occasional eye lock because there were no smart phones to be held or messages to be read.
