In relation to the sex toy part of your article... Competing with a womans sex toy is as easy for a man as competing with your hand or your porn is for a woman.
There is nothing better than the real thing.

I agree that women almost become dehumanized if a lot of the super realistic androids are in the female form. It could cause real females to feel inferior because they most likely aren't going to produce a lot of over weight female androids. This could cause body dysmorphia when comparing to the androids. It could mess up people's view just like slaves in the south messed up people's views on equality.
I agree the real thing is the best but my worry is that even if it isn't real that has already become a lot less work and hassle for people. So it suddenly becomes an easier route.
I think that since women also are getting more presence in tech careers, maybe we will see their influence even things out. In Japan from my understanding it is still quite sexist. It's interesting that the male android has less perfect skin and not looking like Chris Hemsworth in Thor, whereas the females could have probably been made even more realistic but the skin is smooth as a baby's. That tells me that men wouldn't like androids being perfect specimens of physical masculinity either, though I guess that's kind of obvious.
I suspect there will be very much controversy over androids for along time.
Maybe it's not something to feel threatened about. I don't know...an android with the perfect penis...hmmm. Jokes aside, I think that sex doll androids will only replace real people for the type of individuals you described, who are really isolated and socially inept. It may be lifestyle causing it but they area minority and always will be, most people gravitate toward socializing. Something would feel 'off', as an android won't really have a subconsious mind or emotions the same way...at least for a long time
Yeah i was surprised how the male Android looked freakishly real and it was the imperfections that made it that way. The first three pictures in the post look almost real but if a person looks close enough it is too perfect.
I agree that the majority of people will initially be the socially inept but there could become a day when every young male gets a sex android for his 15th birthday. Sounds insane but who knows.
