This exemplifies your error: Viewing pre-sexual revolution sex through rose-colored glasses. Today's incels weren't in healthy, happy marriages in the 1950s. They're misogynist now, and they were misogynist then. The difference is between "involuntary celibacy" and spousal rape.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/992050300486864896 …
Right. That's why I brought up spousal rape. The idea that marriage always means sex requires willfully ignoring how that came to be true in way too many marriages before spousal rape was considered a crime.

And I think spousal rape while certainly something that happens, probably isn’t a big percentage, such that the vast percentage of couples are still living sexlessly.

I'm referring to the time when divorce was illegal (or difficult) and spousal rape wasn't criminal.

No I get your point. I just think most people don’t treat others that way, even when times were different.
