    The “redistribution of sex” only works if you think women are sex, and also not really people.

        Also: if incels simply wanted sex, they could pay for it. What they want is a significantly more attractive girlfriend who will have sex with them, love them despite their awful personalities, and not expect to be treated as a full human in return.

        There are many many women who are involuntarily celibate - maybe because of physical or mental disabilities or challenges, maybe because they have awful personalities and spend their lives playing video games in a basement and whining on Reddit. Who’s redistributing sex for them?

        It is true that feminism created new hierarchies and romantic rules. And that means that a larger number of men who hate women so much they fantasize about killing us if we don’t sleep with them will go un-laid. I am so happy for feminism to take responsibility for that.

        Because guess what? Men who respond to not having sex by starting internet fan clubs for misogynist killers, or becoming killers themselves, were never going to be nice boyfriends and good husbands. That misogyny would manifest against the women closest to them - wives, daughters

        So miss me with this “redistribution of sex” and the fantasy that if it were 1950 and women faced social death for remaining unmarried past 25 everything would be better. It would be better for the misogynists, who could get away with abusing women privately, I’ll give you that.

        And suggesting they just go to a sex worker isn’t a solution. These men hate women. They fantasize about killing us. They would be awful to girlfriends / wives / sex workers / women generally because the point is they hate us.

        This is a DIRECT consequence of the libfem support of prostitution. When you normalize trafficking and abuse of women as "sex work" and a "job like any other," you support the idea that women are objects to be bought and sold.

        You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. It's the criminalization of prostitution that creates sex trafficking and abuse of women.

        Instead of normalizing sex work, the pimps and the men who pay for sex need to be criminalized, not the prostitutes.

        None of it should be criminalized.

        People who advocate for sex work often think they are just accepting reality rather than fighting it, but the reality is that it is inherently exploitative of women.

        It doesn't matter. Consenting adults have autonomy over their own bodies. This includes all "vices." You're hijacking their civil rights via your personal morality.

        Let's back up: Exploitation by definition means a lack of consent. You think this doesn't matter?

        Consent isn't allowed because it's illegal.

        Incels are NOT demanding the affection of beautiful women or women out of their league, they're asking for the abolition of 'hypergamy' -- in which high status men 'slum it' with women below their league, e.g. Warren Beatty and the 13,000 women he's bedded.

        Most instances of hypergamy are far less pronounced than Warren Beatty, e.g. the football star having a drunken one night stand with a rather average girl, but it's incontrovertibly ubiquitous; it's about a minority of men monopolizing an outsized sum of female love and intimacy

        "Redistribution of sex' has nothing to do with state sanctioned rape or prostitution, it's about mobilizing social, cultural, and economic incentives to reestablish lifelong monogamy as the norm in American dating life, a throwback to the dystopian 1950s.

        Aww...someone has been reading Red Pill. Lol. For those who don’t know: Red Pill is a forum male virgins frequent to get dating/sex advice from other male virgins. And they’re very, very angry little boys. Just a friendly FYI. 😊
