      One of the things about incel culture that a lot of people don't get--but this post shows in spades--is just how fundamental neoliberal market logic is embedded in the whole, uh, "scene."https://twitter.com/chick_in_kiev/status/990235360209915905 …

      This post actually uses the term "sexual market value," based on the ol' 1-10 looks point scale. You see this stuff *all the time* on incel subs and forums. They literally can't conceptualize human interaction outside of the market.pic.twitter.com/PfnFdaDlNs

      Ironically, this incel has no problem with the state intervening in the "sexual marketplace" to enforce "fairness" in the market and make sure women don't have sex with too many men or have sex with someone "out of their league."pic.twitter.com/6c6xTVtpAm

      If this sounds like a bizarre sexual hybrid of neoliberalism and crony capitalism, well, welcome to 2018. (And hell, naturally.)

      I've tried to have empathy for the incel crowd in the past. I really have. I remember what it was like to be a pissed-off college-aged virgin.

      But even then, the whole incel stuff weirded me out, because of the thinly-veiled misogyny and the inability to think about social relationships outside of market metaphors.

          Even as an impressionable angry young white guy with--I'm sorry to say--a misogynistic streak, I was too much of a leftie to ever really buy into "marketplace" talk. I credit this to my parents and teachers. *Thank you.*
