Emotionally unaware

Mac2 hadn't worked out that Rufus's new misogyny might have the opposite effect than planned. With a penchant for men, Rufus might now be more inclined to be understanding and merciful to men, who, in the great scheme of things, might present more of a physical threat than women. It simply wouldn't do for Rufus to be attracted to any man.

But Mac2 was only a machine, a highly intelligent one, but not programmed in the emotional complexities of humankind.

Rufus thought back to Tony's naked body, complete with his terminal erection, and sighed.

Was that a sigh of regret?
