I don't understand how someone who doesn't have sexual partners might think that is anyone else's fault. Can someone explain incel to me?
-
-
I get that, for sure. What I'm missing is how that thinking gets past any kind of logic filter.

Do you feel like it's sex that is the commodity or just, like, women's attention and affection and desire?
-
Personally I would imagine it's all of those, but ultimately 'only the weak care about affection'; it would require humanizing women, whereas focusing on sex doesn't require that.
-
There is a kind of parallel incel idea tho, that touch/comfort/affection/sex are necessary for a healthy life or mental state. And that access to it is a rights issue, the same way access to food or water or healthcare is a rights issue. Which makes women the actual commodity.
-
Hm. In that case, why not sex workers?
-
A lot of incels advocate for a system where they would have access to state-paid sex workers.
-
Right. My question was classist. Apologies.
-
I don't think it was, to be clear!
-
I just meant that it occurs to me that sw service providers are priced well into the "luxury" category.

That's it, really. When you truly feel you are entitled to something, and that you are actively being denied that thing - and remember, in this scenario, women are weaponized as things - then of course you're brimming with hate and resentment.
-
So basically ... "Look! I have put $11.27 into this vending machine and it hasn't given me a *single* hand job" -tips machine oven in inchoate rage, runs off howling at the sky-
-
Not virtue signalling here. Obviously I've heard the "sex vending machine" analogy before. I just have trouble understanding that there's so much rage attached to it.
-
Because, like the emotional toddlers that they are, THEY WANT and that should be enough to have every little whim catered to. When that doesn't happen, tantrum time.
-
That does make sense. I may be measuring too much by my own yardstick. Stacy, you of all people know I had a pretty serious "Nice Guy" phase & while I am certain I was a real jerk to many kind people, I don't think I ever found myself enraged. Desperately horny, sure but no rage.
