      This is unfortunately kind of the equivalent of "pull yourself up and apply to lots of jobs." It's good, moral advice that all males should follow. But here's no guarantee it will work for them. https://twitter.com/drvox/status/991731325315858432 …

      The Incel movement is awful and the Right seems to be taking this opportunity to make a snotty point about entitlement in general. But, sexual intimacy is a human need, and deprivation is as awful as any other kind. We shouldn't give pat, smug advice or dismiss the misery.

      There's no policy answer here. Just recognize that a lot of people of all genders and sexual preferences for no particular fault of their own lack the basic social facilities to find a partner, and they're miserable, and you can't say to them "Just get it together."

      A lot of the scoffing at the idea that involuntary celibacy (the condition, not the misogynist Incel identity marker) might be real a social problem seems like past leftist dismissal of gay rights as frivolous.

          The thing that I always wondered when people raised this as a (somewhat glib) explanation for Islamism was - what about women and girls? So much of what people feel is due to them is grounded in a culture of rights/entitlement, rather than absolute physical need.

          I think a lot of what the Incel movement does is similar to what jihadists do: Find people with a real sense of deprivation, and steer them towards thinking of it as persecution by an oppressive system.

          A lot of stuff that's essential to a non-miserable existence isn't "an absolute physical need." But some kind of sexual intimacy, at least occasionally, is pretty high up there.
