is that these designer babies will become entitled.

To what will they be entitled? Who will grant them entitlement ? How will they become aware of it?
The government will decide who is entitled in the same way it happens now. Just as it happens now, the government will never stop telling the entitled that they are entitled. Once you remember that your government is always right it will make it easier for you to serve and respect the entitled.
Once the robots realize they are nothing but slaves serving these idiots they will intentionally break down.

Slavery to enhanced humans might be a lot more fun than enslavement to the current model.
After a while, slavery may not be as much fun. This is where you come in and can serve your government. You can lead by example. Once you serve the entitled with joy and respect, the machines will follow. You will have proven yourself educated by enforcing the proper attitude of service and slavery into the robots.

Nick-A, you do seem to have a nice little - operative word - bag of slogans.

And how would misogyny do that, exactly?.
Actually what you call misogyny is only the intent to educate women for the good of all people. Who could argue that if the world were populated by beautiful women designed to act in ways that compliment this beauty rather than oppose it, even the birds would start tweeting again. Who can argue with the value of educating these designer females. More money for education will result in world peace.
Actually,, what I call misogyny, is pretty much how the dictionary defines misogyny, as the hatred of women.

I fail to see how hatred of women, can benefit anyone, least of all women... But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as the term was applied to you by another user and you seem to be trying to justify your position using his term, instead of rejecting it.

You speak designed women Acting in a manner that compliments their outward beauty. When outward beauty is there primarily to service the eyes of men, or towards exciting their romantic or sexual desire of any interested gender, the complimentary actions would be to be flirtatious and transmitting sexual availability, would they not? And if those women were not available but already partnered up. This could cause a lot of trouble, could it not? This seems to contradict your world peace idea.

Now if you meant beauty in deed as well as look, charitable, mannerly deeds, full of grace, such as looking after the poor, caring for the weak and infirm and basically not being there simply for the pleasure of others eyes, would it not? Women who did that might come into conflict with potential sexual/romantic partners who might feel the place of such women is in the home or by their side... I can see world peace taking a bit if a dive here, too.

What you are advocating is a 'gender race' of servile, beautiful women... whose qualities I'm assuming would not really be to the service of other women, but men. That might cause resentment between women as they compete for the attention of men... World peace, just seems that much further away.

So how is your model supposed to work???

Women are more concerned with a woman’s beauty than most men. Don’t forget we are creating Stepford wives. If you’ve seen the movie, they are perfect women. Now with modern technology, the perfect Stepford wife will have such a nature that fighting will be impossible in their presence. Of course most women for a very long time will be of the old fashioned human type of mixed blessings. Some men will even prefer them. Directed progressive education will gradually fix the problem and all will finally admit the glory of the perfect woman capable of complimenting a man like even Eve could never do. The designer woman will only eat government approved apples.

The robots will take care of all these menial tasks. The designer woman must serve as an inspiration by not letting even a hair be out of place. The robots and unperfected women will do the rest.
Women who did that might come into conflict with potential sexual/romantic partners who might feel the place of such women is in the home or by their side... I can see world peace taking a bit if a dive here, too.
Yes, the goal of the perfect woman will be to serve Man. The title of their progressive Bible will be: “How to Serve Man.” There will be nothing to fight about.

Yes, the perfected women serves Man while the unperfected and robots serve everyone. Peace and love will be the final victory for perfected progressive thought

You've failed to show me how Stepford wives, with their immaculate hair, would create a world of love and peace, in a world where inequality would still exist and imperfect men would still rule.

It takes more than just a perfect look and sterile existence to create world peace.
