1. There's been some accusation that critics of @DouthatNYT have been unfair, so I'll try to make a fair critique (or as fair as I'm able). https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/opinion/incels-sex-robots-redistribution.html …

8. Incels are not the voice of sexual underclass but rather the voice of aggrieved privilege: men who (as men) think they naturally deserve high status which they've been denied.

9. Sex work already in societies that also produce incels. Yet on their messageboards, incels often denigrate sex workers rather than see them as a solution. Why? Because incels don't want sex: they want status of having conventionally beautiful girlfriend/wife.

10. Aside from status of having conventionally beautiful girlfriend/wife, incels also want subservience & esteem. These are not things any society can really give them. Insatiable aggrieved privilege is not something you can negotiate with.

12. I'll leave it to experts in therapy & deradicalization to figure out if there is some way to talk them out of their position. More broadly, anti-misogyny eduction might stop some from going down that path.

Women aren't property, Jeet. The premise of the argument is invalidated once you accept that fact.

I say give them tax credits towards sex dolls, Bluetooth-enabled fleshlights, whatever they want that isn't a living creature (although if the sex dolls are eventually given AI, they'll prolly refuse too lol). The less they reproduce & raise children, the better for all of us.

I don't know a ton about Incels, but reading Douthat's piece, it seemed their complaint isn't that they don't get "Stacys." It's that "Chads" get all the Stacys...and all the other women too...because today's society dictates you're only fuckable if you're a Chad.
