On a meta level, order alone and no chaos means no order at all. You need some chaos to compare order against.

More particularly, let's continue your thought experiment. There is sexual desire in men still right? so they made sex robots. Let's assume all sex robots are equally good. In other words all are mediocre. Then one person adds a feature to this robot to make it exponentially better. Now billions of men on this planet line up to have sex with this new robot. Then those at the back of the line will start getting angry and call it unfair. And truly, it is unfair. This is chaos again.

So see what happened, one person added more order and it immediately caused more chaos. And they seem to be a natural byproduct of life: to live means to strive for the better and that means exercising your will and that means exacting some order here and spreading some chaos there. Also, you cannot create chaos without order, because the act of willing something is of order, even if that will is chaos.

I do feel obliged to tell you about something nuanced here. It is true that chaos is feminine, but this doesn't mean women are chaotic. Women are humans just like men, they "have" femininity, which is, on average, higher than men. Meaning they are more emotionally flexible, they are more forgiving, it is the mother who will forgive your transgressions. While masculinity is more rigid, less forgiving, it is the father that will punish you. These are all averages. As Jung says, averages take the sample and strip off everything unique about the individuals and present something that does NOT exist. So I am sure masculinity and femininity are variable in both men and women.

If you want to explore your idea more you can journal about it; write a make believe journal entry every night of your day in this planet. But also analyze the effects of your actions there carefully.

In summary, you cannot get rid of chaos without annihilating life itself and feminine does not mean women.
