    The whole Incel discourse is yet another terrible "sexy" way to avoid talking about economic issues and the effects of atomized individualism on society.

        A society based around stable families and communities has shifted to one based around atomized individual economic actors, and of course this has horrible effects on people's psychologies. But treating sex as an atomized advertised commodity is the problem, not the solution.

        It's continually shocking to me how little people want to actually connect and address all of the various bizarre and terrible issues that obviously arise, at their base, from the fact that lots and lots of people are atomized and alone. We'd much rather giggle about sex.

        And to be absolutely blunt, I know a fair number of middle-aged men who have no hope of ever marrying or even being in a stable relationship, and the reason why isn't because they have terrible personalities or feel entitled, but because they sleep in tents in the woods.

        The solution to all these problems, social and economic and psychological, is not to give everyone more porn and sex robots, or blame women or "feminism." Lots of people in lots of societies haven't had sex, and lived fulfilled lives in family and community.

        But there are obviously things about our society (incl. porn & sex robots!) that make it very hard for people to live fulfilled lives, to live in communities, to form & continue families, and more and more often to function in basic relational and human ways.

        That the usual stuffed-shirts now get to have televised conversations (between awkward laughs) about economically distributing sex shouldn't keep us from doing our best to fix what's broken, and to care for the casualties, disgusting and broken and self-deceived as they may be.
