Douthat's point is that the logic of sexual redistribution is consistent with the logic of social justice broadly: any inequality must be redressed no matter how seemingly "natural" & inevitable, & however great the imposition on personal preferences required to achieve it.

*all true, but, as a footnote, re: "incel violence"... i think media's leaping on "incels" in wake of Toronto attack? Is far-fetched/tenuous. Reports from people who knew perp suggested he was nearly-retarded; hard to blame "ideology" when guy probably couldn't spell it

Agree. The Isla Vista shooter seemed to fall legitimately into this category, and I imagine there are a few others. The woke crowd seems to experience glee at adding to the "toxic masculinity" and "white males are the REAL terrorists" narrative.

Isn't that inherent to the ideology? They need an oppressor to mainstain their victim status, so tragedies are blamed on that group. If the killer is just mentally handicapped, then he's Oppressed and a Victim.

There's plenty of calm dismantling of Hanson's bad analogy in the comments section at his blog.

Fair. I see much to critique in his argument, & Douthat does a fair job of engaging it. My post was largely in response to the furor at Douthat, which struck me as greater than that towards Hanson. In any case, D's point that the popular responses are largely strawmen is valid.
-
I think the anti-Hanson piece that Douthat cited as "representative" of the mainstream reaction was more lucid and responsible in its claims than either Douthat or Hanson's were.

Yea, except sex inequality doesn’t effect the democratic process like wealth inequality... so the logic is not paralleled.

Meh. Outside cosmopolitan circles (which are relatively tiny): No money = No honey

This is a good thread, but your casual assertion that traditional Christian values particularly in regard to sex is curious.
