So if I'm female and wanted to go to Westworld


Can I be a gunslinger, or do I have to be a hooker because it'd be more 'realistic'? Same with the medieval world. Could I be a knight or would I have to be a slave girl?

well, the lady interviwed at the start-after returning from the holiday- had been to Romeworld, she seemed quite enourmed of it. What was the best part? 'The men', she said with a serne look...

Good question other then a hooker what could you do in Westworld? I'm sure not everyone could be Annie Oakley.

You could be the school marm or the organ player at the church. Or you could be a homemaker and churn butter out on the farmstead all day. Or you could run the hat shop in town.

Yeah, being woman in the old west wasn't fun. Then again, neither was it in medieval times or Roman times. Just stay home, save a thousand bucks, and raise the kids, I guess.

F#KK being a schoolmarm or housewife, I'd be a gunslinger a la Sharon Stone in "The quick and the Dead"...

As for a woman president, I think it's past due, but NOT Hillary Clinton!! Thank goodness she didn't win the election!!!

Maybe you could be a schoolmarm that packed a six-shooter. No discipline problems and kids would do their home work. Of course you need to set an example early on. Shoot the brattiest kid between the eyes for sloppy penmanship on the first day.

In Medieval World you would be a lady-in-waiting. You'd have robots combing your hair, getting you dressed, bathing you, and then you'd be serviced by the Earl of Penis, returning from the Crusades.

Same thing in Roman World, except it would be constant orgies. You could also eat a lot and then go to the vomitorium.

But as for West World, yup, you'd be a whore. Or you could be Marlene Dietrich's character, singing on stage to the cowboys, aka Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles. Good luck with that!

I assume there is nothing stopping you being a female gladiator!

Its that man again!!

reply

Or you could be the school teacher, actually teaching kids that want to learn (!!) -- or the great lady of a respectful family (no smart lipped kids) -- or work in the dress shop and have all the women tell you what great taste you have ("She's from the east, you know!") But I agree. I think the other worlds are more fun for women. Especially at a thousand dollars a day!

reply

You could be whatever you wanted to be as you are paying for it.

That dependso n how much realism Delos creators want. If they went full realism then yes, whore or housewife is your options. because women not being "a thing to be used" is a very recent thing and did not exist in those cultures.

It's a MAN"S world Screen Queen! You'd just have to fit into that universe.

No, seriously good question. I was thinking much the same thing when I watched the film again recently. You do see a few female tourists at the start but the movie never really explores the direct um benefits for the fairer sex.

reply

and then you'd be serviced by the Earl of Penis, returning from the Crusades.


:D



Good question indeed, especially since it's largely ignored by the film. It seems to think that the option of daily orgies with well-endowed robot-slaves should be enough for the ladies to happily dish out 1,000 bucks a day. A pretty hefty sum, assuming we're talking about 1973 dollars. A woman who can afford that kind of cash should be able to get all the action that she wants without having to resort to what is basically a walking, talking vibrator.

But then again: How much more exciting is it for the males anyway? Our two heroes pretty much experience everything there is to do in this place within the first few hours of their stay: Eat, kill/fight, shag, get drunk, sleep ... and then what?

On a side note: I'm pretty sure there is a femals guest going to Westworld with the two heroes (she's riding on that blue golf-kart thingie with them).

In Westworld, you'd more likely be a traveling lady just stopping by for a few days. But, you could probably go on a tirade and shoot a few people if you wanted.

The park is supposed to be about realism, so I doubt they'd let a woman be a knight and spoil it for the other guests. A princess, lady in waiting, or visiting dignitary is more likely.

reply

Don't forget that Spenser's Faerie Queene had the female knight Britomart. There's precedent for that.

Sorry. You have to be a slave hooker.


I`m sorry for my lack of manners, but I`m not used to escorting men.

reply

A better question would be what would stop another human guest from raping you or mistaking you for a pleasure robot? Did they ever explain that fail safe? 

~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

reply

They didn't, but I would imagine that the operators in the control room could semi-control this. They could send another robot in to break it up; I would think they would send a waaay hotter robot (than the human) in to offer herself up for sex, or to be raped, instead.
