    Abolish Britain‏ @MediocreDave Apr 28

    It is obviously essential to keep track of and discuss the spread of violent ideologies but it's been utterly horrifying watching journalists and pundits uncritically reproduce the misogynist logics behind this incel bullshit over the last few days.

        I mean, you can dismiss each individual instance of this but those core ideas (male entitlement to women's bodies; violence as a natural reaction) are circulating far more comfortably that they were a week ago and it didn't take much of a discursive shift to make that happen.

        Presenting online networks of violent misogynists as a sudden occurrence is lazy journalism; treating this misogyny as a brand new unrecognisable phenomenon is wilfully ahistorical. Accepting the premise of the men's imagined grievance is actively dangerous.

        Abolish Britain Retweeted Ross Douthat

        Another example of a journalist blithely accepting the core logics of a violently misogynist worldview, reifying people not having the sex they think they're entitled to as an extant problem to which society is obliged to provide a solution.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/992049727641354240 …

        2. This means the "incel" phenomenon isn't just reducible to its toxic violent misogynistic form; there's a large sexless population (not just young and male but female, older, gay, etc.) caught in a psychic vice btw the culture's obsession w/sex and its absence from their lives.

        Exciting new topic of dinner party chat: "Of course, indiscriminate murder is beyond the pale, but what do you propose is done about lack of access to sex? You can't just ignore the problem."
