AI robowaifus are created by broken men trying to create women who act like the angels they were told women were while they were growing up. An attempt to make the story of the holy feminine true.

If thats how this ends up imploding it would be a bit poetic. Theres nothing you can do to a woman thats crueler than completely isolating/atomizing her from any and all attention or social interaction.

This strikes me as a valid critique of Christianity’s attitude towards women yet the female archetype was split. It wasn’t all Mary all the time. Medieval Christians had a deep fear of bad women - the succubus who lay under you at night - the witch who cast a spell on you, all the girls shipped off to convents lest they indulge their sexuality. So yeah, the problem really is that bad and the good exist inside the same person. We can’t have that. To maintain an ideal the real gets split off.

I have no idea what made me do it, but I told on myself early on. I admitted it. For good measure and to remind my spouse, I got a beautiful, colorful butterfly tattoo that is made up in the middle of the black widow. You're right. Everyone is gross.

Oh yes this is tying together everything - even that comment that the Anglos are the most "girlboss feminist" civilization & the "animus-integrated femininity" comment.

Interesting.
