For the study, researchers analyzed data from 212 undergraduate Canadian students from an unnamed university.

Sample size sounds way too small to be throwing around "virulent misogyny" to me. For me, a sex robot sounds like two steps away from a more advanced fleshlight. In an economy where I'm not getting paid enough to have off time I could be cruising or dating with, and in an economy where I'm already spending MOST OF MY HOURS AWAKE toiling for capitalist pigs, plooking a robot sounds no different from rubbing one out with more steps; especially when the robot in question can't spontaneously pop out a kid that's gonna cost me a million dollars over the course of 18 years.

It's depressing, but that's actually a pretty good sample size for social science.
