      My Wednesday column: The Redistribution of Sex, which apparently has many readers on this platform already:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/opinion/incels-sex-robots-redistribution.html …

      This was a rather long-winded way to say “The sexual revolution caused the incel phenomenon, and we’d all be better off with my preferred traditional-conservative views on sex.” See, it fits in a tweet.

          I always get a kick out of the “respectable” right trying to cast far-right kookery as somehow “radical” or leftist,” when said kookery is just their own views taken to their absurd conclusions.

          Just so we’re clear: incels and “sex redistribution” isn’t about sexual liberation or ‘60s style “free love.” It’s a reactionary, revanchist pining for a world where men are “owed” sex and women’s consent is irrelevant.

          But that wouldn't sow enough confusion and misdirection! (The ultimate point of communication!) Or at least, it wouldn't get as much viral attention...

          Also, most people don't get paid for a single tweet, whereas this bullshit article netted him a paycheck.

          And that is where you and I differ.

          There is, unfortunately, a booming market for bad takes and unnecessary opinon columns...
