I read the book, never watched either of the movies. Ad the thing is that the more that I look around at today's women – yes, even the more cosmopolitan Eastern European ones – the more that I think that The Stepford Wives was actually a brilliant subversive work meant to make us think that highly submissive, compliant, sexy, perfectly coiffed women are the best thing in the world.

The reason its been pushed in lieu of the healthier extended family is the extended family has much less need of big business, big government or big religion .

At times its a threat to all of these things and when you get a network of these families, you get clans and tribes which are the most stable human formation.

However the stronger the clan the less powerful the centralizers are and with enough strong clans, you have a plurality of small states. This can lead to chaos although from a human needs perspective, its fairly optimal.

In the end though so long a society holds out just as you said sex bots will accelerate the end of modernity. I figure they'll reduce the bastardy rate which is for whites 30% of all child birth. Upsides, more families are two parent, Downside up to 1/3 less families.

White the overall TFR below replacement and declining the US will easily hit Poland level or lower.

My guess is this will go on until it can't. This will be either when society can no longer support the complexity level required for these things or some kind of Right Wing Authoritarians take over

I'd guess the former but by that time the US will resemble Brazil or on a long enough time frame 2219 will look more like 1819 than Star Trek and the majority of the population will be low tech freehold farmers

This won't take long as the same tech will render a lot of jobs obsolete. That lack of ability to provide income enough for a family without impoverishing ones self is diminishing and its a huge chunk of the current fertility shortfall. No good stable jobs in modernity mean no babies

The real nightmare is when young men decide they'll never be able to support a family and are to demoralized or too suppressed to eliminate the elite and decide to use the one that normally would go for family into that sex bot. A nice one might be leased for far less than the cost of a single child

All that aside, a Cherry 2000 or the like especially one that could cook and was programmed to be actually pleasant and feminine would be superior to any modern woman in terms of company. Caveat of course for the religious

How we deal with that no one knows. Maybe we don't and modernity comes to an end with a moan and a bang

Alphas will still get chicks. Because.

Women may have to step up their game for the beta bucks as fewer guys want to put up wit their shit. Maybe to the point of less alpha fucks?

Even in the best world it can't help the birthrate any unless women really step up their shit.

And that's when women truly were frightened/triggered.

Wonder if they're warrantied. "If she doesn't last two years, we replace at pro-rated cost."
