Your most basic issue with this argument is that sex isn't something that can be distributed like a product. A gun is an item. A sexual encounter is an often complicated, personal interaction. Regulating personal touch or relationships is to make people into distributable objects

Its just not true that policy can't influence the distribution of sex. Even if sex is complicated and personal. Jobs are complex and personal too, yet policy influences those.

Policy influences lots of things. I'm not arguing that it couldn't influence social/sexual interaction; rather that it is not something that can be "re-distributed". It's a fundamental lack of understanding about sex, given the words you're using

As I've said many times recently "redistribute" just means "change the distribution".

To who? Does everyone deserve sexual intercourse? Do sexually violent men (the incels - you specifically mentioned them in what you wrote, framing them as revolutionaries) have a basic right to the type of sex that they desire, which is often rape?

I mean, you framed incels as being similar to social revolutionaries who just want income equality. Incels are men who have clearly had poor mental health access (or refused to be treated) exacerbated by a hatred of women. It's a very poor comparison

In addition, you suggest monogamy as a redistribution of sex, discouraging promiscuity. This doesn't remotely work (go do some research on infidelity), also implies that marriage includes a sex requirement, which is the foundation of why spousal rape wasn't illegal until the 90s
