During my time of doll forum memberships, I have never, ever witnessed anyone exhibiting any hatred of or contempt for women or girls.

We have a deep-seated appreciation for their physical form and a deep-seated desire to ensure they remain in perfect condition, alongside a deep appreciation of their unique femininity. Possibly more so than in some marriages!

We care for our dolls. So much so that it can become somewhat of an ongoing investment to ‘keep them happy’.

This is where empathy once again enters the equation as we so much want our girls to look and ‘feel’ their best. We buy them makeup, clothes, shoes, jewelry and we are happy to see them happy.

We actually feel our dolls' happiness. It is actually our happiness, but our sex dolls are a sounding board for that happiness, simply by us being in their presence.

So, at the end of the day, we doll owners are pretty normal human beings who have chosen to have in our lives at least one beautiful interactive work of natural art.

According to the label, women are something we hate. Why on earth would we want the presence of their physical form if we hated it?

The only thing remotely misogynistic with mini sex doll ownership is ‘sexual objectification’, rather like fleshlights and such like. But, using the same flawed logic, dildos could equally be considered misandrous.

In any case, are any of those products created through malice and/or hatred towards either sex?

I ask these so-called ‘experts’ to stop using the word misogynistic to label doll owners as it is wholly inaccurate.

Now look up ‘philogynist’ and consider whether that label is any better.
