IT may be 2013 but a depressing social experiment has shown that there is still a perception - at least online - that women should be seen and not heard.
Blogger Sam Kriss created a series of fake female profiles on dating site, Ok Cupid and replied to unsolicited messages from men using quotes from @horse_ebooks - a bizarre Twitter bot which tweets lines of nonsensical text.
The results will make you weep for humanity.
The contents of Sam's messages didn't seem to matter, even when he was writing things like: "Almost immediately Together Turned immediately Immediately Immediately Immediately Immediately Immediately Immediately Immediately," the results were the same - a bunch of randy men trying out the same pick up lines in the hopes of hooking up.
The only goal was get the girl at all costs. Even if the replies made no sense.
They men didn't even seem to realise that they were talking to a robot horse. If they did, they certainly didn't care.
"These people are talking by rote," Sam told tech blog, Slacktory. "I've had people send the same message to several of my accounts, some in different continents, all with the same avatars. They’re completely oblivious. It’s a horse robot talking to a meat robot."
Sam said contrary to popular opinion, advice on how to fend off creepy internet pick-up artists doesn't work.
"A lot of people just get angrier or hornier," he said.
Slacktory Writer, Virgil Texas who runs a Tumblr and Twitter account documenting the advice shared by repulsive pick up artists on forums and message boards said these men's routines had an "almost hypnotic pull".
(They) "are grounded in psychology about the 'female brain' and specious ideas about evolution and 'human nature' that even a stoned philosophy student would be embarrassed to say aloud," Texas wrote.
"No" is not an answer these men were used to hearing. And like Ok Cupid users' experience with the robot horse, Texas said her experiences trawling "the seduction community" showed that no matter how women responded to online pick ups, "the script remained essentially the same".
"The resultant one-sided conversation is a hollow parody of human interaction," Texas wrote.
