The issue of sex inequality seems a “loose thread” of our social fabric, that could be pulled toward our unraveling. Were the right to embrace it, the left seems even less likely than usual to seek compromise or offer appeasement. http://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/04/a-pullable-thread-of-the-social-fabric.html …
If you want to have a serious conversation on the topic of sexual needs and suffering from unmet needs, that'd be fine. But distance yourself from 'incel' subculture that promotes violent misogyny instead of reifying it.

You don't see how this discussion in Two Types of Envy risks reifying sexual violence? FWIW I'm not someone parachuting in. I've been reading Overcoming Bias for many years.pic.twitter.com/lvwWHPiK2B

In comparing the two groups, I say that they both like to hint at and sometimes do violence. This is not at all the same as supporting such violence! You really think I shouldn't have mentioned this key element in my comparison?

You should have realized your words might be misused. It took 2 seconds to find this, and I'm sure a more exhaustive search would yield more instances of 'incels' misusing or overinterpreting your claims, or hijacking your credibility for their cause... https://www.reddit.com/r/Braincels/comments/8fn0mu/omg_associate_professor_at_george_mason/ …

It's irresponsible reductiveness in a complex information ecosystem. Like just wanting to debate race science without seeing how that debate is misused. Like just wanting to debate vaccine safety without seeing how that debate is misused.
