They are asking for equal redistribution of sex. This could not be accomplished without mass, socially santioned rape. What, exactly, is there to negotiate here? Who is even proposing that as a possibility?

Looks like the guy I linked to is proposing just this scenario.
-
Ok. Who besides the obvious nut job?
-
Of course this guy is a nut job & the incel stuff is vile rape apologia. But one of the lessons of the last few years is that seemingly fringe, loony & repugnant ideas can gain traction. It's worth monitoring, alas.

They basically want Gilead, with all of them having Econowives, as they are unlikely to be the Commanders.
-
Unfortunately, they seem to have attributes of the Painballers from the MaddAddam trilogy, albeit without having gone through Painball.

Nailed it
-
I really wish I hadn't. I don't want to live in Gilead or the land from MaddAddam.

The internet has formented the creation of online communities with radicalized ideas that feed on each other like a feedback loop that gets worse as time goes on (as it has also brought people closer together -Like any tech it’s double-edged). Not sure what answer is to this.

It reminds me a bit of cultism in the 1960s and 1970s, which seemed to be a runaway problem until Jonestown, which made them both unappealing to the vast majority and a punchline as well. I’m afraid similar will need to happen with these online extremist groups.

I never heard of Dr Hanson before, but a glance at his GMU website, and this is the only academic site I've ever seen do this (and that's saying something...), he includes his GRE scores for some reason. Says a lot, I think.
-
Which leads me to say that he started out smart but obviously became dumb over time. A shame, really.
-
Or at the very least he's certainly invested in an idea of his own intelligence, and of trying to convince us of it. An academic who feels the need to prove his intelligence by citing decade's old standardised test scores doesn't impress in the way that I imagine he hopes...
-
Makes him a laughingstock. Like I tell my Historical methods students, be doubly wary of using papers on websites the authors of which use PhD in their names.
-
Yes, I agree! It looks tacky.
-
Listing credentials is fine, but in the author’s line it’s a red herring, often to distract from a crackpot paper or a substandard degree program. Intellectual bragging is more than just tacky snobbishness in many cases, IMHO.
