      I'm going to be very careful speaking to this point, because I am not familiar with the realities of sex work, but I would imagine that incels would be absolute nightmares as clients. Sex workers aren't the answer. https://twitter.com/catmara73/status/989182559400726528 …

      First, I think a lot of men DO go to sex workers because they feel the same kinds of pain that incels do - being undesirable, feeling disconnected, lacking emotional and physical intimacy in their lives. And maybe that helps. I honestly don't know.

      But sex work can't fix the misogyny that is the sine qua non of the incel identity. And depending on the circumstance and the guy, sex work could serve to deepen their misogyny. Plus, misogynists are dangerous to women sex workers.

          Second, sex serves as a proxy, in many cases, for what incels REALLY want: ADMIRATION from women. Which is a pretty typical male desire, and can be harnessed for constructive ends in an emotionally healthy person.

          In those cases, sex work can't be the answer. Sex THERAPY, maybe. But certainly not the mere act of 'paying for sex'. Because again, the physical act only satisfies a small part of the cluster of insecurities and hatreds that define the incel worldview.

          But yes, 100% of the people saying "if someone had just given X a pity fuck, none of this would have happened" are 100% wrong. "Celibate" is the the least important part of the word "incel".

          They are men who feel powerless, rejected, undesired, and invisible. And they cast the blame for their feelings outward, particularly at women, who they believe are ignoring them with a kind of malicious indifference.

          Characterizing these men as "sexually frustrated" is a mistake, because it accepts their framing of the argument rather than the reality that can be inferred from their behaviour. They don't want sex, they want the status that accompanies being sexy.
