I guess this should be possible but, my feeling is, that several more decades of individual and social change have to happen before this really becomes easy for us all.

That's a strong possibility. Certainly it's very likely to have "robots smashing humans." That's already the case now.

I'm atheist, she's Wiccan.

Yep, our foreign policy during the Cold War was hardly stellar.

So, without gravity, our eyes would swim and be blinded by small blobs of tear fluid and our nostrils would cake up with bubbles of snot and it would all hurt. Maybe that would be pretty cathartic.

Yeah, I'm wondering about this too. If so, I'll pass.

Yeah, I agree. The actual graphic novel series is hugely better than the lame movie. I knew it was going to suck the moment they demoted Harker from her leadership role in favor of Quatermain.

So the prospect that some might use the same technology to blot you out of their world, doesn't bother you?

Augmented reality—it's coming. What I just described is one the things you could do with it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot won't wear AR gear. For these people, it's all about imposing power over women and changing the world to fit their regressive vision. They wouldn't be happy to just confine that vision to themselves.

Well, you'd still be interacting with them. They'd be out and walking around with their AR gear. They'd still know you're a woman by the big black censor bar over you.

Let's get a little science fictional here—

Some of us, the socially anxious, or me, for example, have a hard time talking to strangers in general (Male or female, attractive or unattractive.) without averting our eyes. We can function well enough, and eventually do make eye contact after we feel relaxed, but we probably look a bit unconfident or shifty at…

I swiped it from an animated GIF made by an artist IO9 linked to once. It was so long ago that I can't point you to the artist in question.

Actually I don't think these people are very much like the society the children built in Lord of the Flies. But I agree, there many aspects of their culture are horrifying.
