I disagree (but upvoted - social evolution is a worthy topic).

I'm a pretty big fan of freeing our (and specifically my) cognition from the evolutionary pressures which created it (and me). Removing the pressure of sex from almost all male/female interactions seems like a worthwhile thing to explore.

I share your basic conservatism in that it's a pretty scary change. I just see the good in it as well as the risks.
