I see "redistribution of sex" is coming up as a mainstream idea. The problem a lot of the people proposing this seriously have isn't lack of sex, it's that they hate themselves. Getting laid won't solve that for all of them.
While the recent incel terror attack has painted them in a bad light, I do think it's worth remembering these men are all humans who are just so used to being hurt they've given up looking for love, they deserve pity.

I also think it this trend speaks to the fact that white men, more than any other group just had access to whatever they needed in life, quality education jobs/capital and opportunities to progress.

I'm also a white male. I sometimes take a small amount of offense at "May you have the confidence of a mediocre white man". But then I remember a family member who blew up a jeep and tried to claim the insurance money, because daddy didn't buy him a motorbike.

Or I remember
@LindseyGrahamSC who had the gall to propose a healthcare bill that have had negative effects on tens of millions of people, and sell it like it was the best thing since sliced bread, and then later admit he didn't actually understand the bill.Show this thread -
Not that women or POC never do such horrifically selfish things either on a personal or wider level. But it's not hard to see why they're all looking us going, "How on earth did white men end up in charge when this is their approach".

I think the very slow re-balancing of wealth and opportunity is causing a lot of white men to realize that the societal messages that were given to them as a child as to what they could aspire to and what they should expect, are slightly wrong, and they're taking it hard.pic.twitter.com/9p4vKdhu8t

So instead of admitting that there was effort to suppress women and minorities, basically for all of history until just right now. Instead of admitting that, and working with everyone else, they're looking out at the world, getting scared, and dropping out instead of trying.

Like the kid at school who acts out instead of admitting they feel too stupid to do the work, they've decided that IRL doesn't matter, love, success etc is all a waste of time as long as their absolute basic needs are met.

"Re-distribution of sex" is a fascinating and interesting idea - as long as you're happy to drop the obviously offensive pre-requisite that everyone else needs to give away their body to solve personal problems, and the probable failure of any such scheme

interesting in two ways: 1) The idea of sex as a basic need in a wider framework of all basic needs (not just sex) being made available to all at all times - the nanny state 2) That the people proposing such an idea, have blinded themselves to it's gaping flaws

I believe part of the "redistribution of sex" name is a linguistic attack on "redistribution of wealth" - with many of the proponents of the latter being opponents of the former. Here's the thing, redistribution of wealth is about, on a basic level, the right to life.

On a more advanced level, redistribution of wealth is about making sure every person gets a chance to succeed in life, that they are not excluded from success because they couldn't afford the steps necessary to achieve it.

There is no "right to sex" in the same way we generally view there as being a "right to life". Demanding wealth be redistributed is about making sure kids have enough to eat. Do some people need non-emotional sexual interaction so badly they can't thrive or continue without it?

The point that has been, rightly and forcefully made, is that for every right, there is a responsibility. If I have a right to sex, you have a responsibility to give me sex. It would be like a right to smoke inside someone else's home, or to eat their food.

If you want sex so badly, go find it. Find a female friend, ask them what clothes to wear. Practice the skills you would need. Don't read the game. Stop negging. I'm not saying "be yourself", more, "don't do things that have been done to death".

Before I was married, I was at university. I am not some player, pick up artist, I have a ton of social anxiety and I'm not super attractive or well built, or rich, or witty. I got laid all the time. Because I kept putting myself in situations to do so.

That's all well and good until they pick up an AR-15 or get in a truck and mow innocent people down.
