it should tell you something about what a rudderless charlatan he is, that he was so quick to shrug off his whole thesis on the necessity of hierarchy, responsibility and self-betterment to endorse the social provision of partners, lol
Well I'm either going to have to find out what he actually said or agree with you he was very vague, so it's much easier to agree with you. But that doesn't even begin to imply he "shrugged off his whole thesis on the necessity of hierarchy, responsibility and self-betterment".

because beyond the task of making oneself a responsible and desirable partner, he said both in the profile and in his response blog that society has a role to play in managing the men who fail to find partners. Okay, sure! But all the latter blog does is retreat to a passive tonepic.twitter.com/7t0Gg61tNn

Now, I wrote that reply to you before his response blog. If he could be clearer about how society should "assist" men who can't find girlfriends, maybe I'd need to reassess what I said. But it did seem to me to contradict his message of personal responsibility.

Is that left quote a summary, or indirect quotation? Either way, society working to make sure "those men" get married doesn't seem to rule out putting social pressure on the men to be more responsible.
-
It's an indirect quote, which is repeated by what he wrote for himself in the 2nd one. The 2nd quote seems to say the necessity of placating their frustration supersedes addressing their "incompetence"; but I'm not convinced he's saying anything worth parsing with great attention
-
To take another example, this quote from the article either says nothing or something pernicious. The cure for women rejecting men is for them to get married. Wow, cool, thanks. Huh?pic.twitter.com/GfhdN7C3yY

Well either he's suggesting that all kids should get married while still at school, or he's claiming that in a society where an overwhelming majority of people marry, kids would not become "angry with God" because they weren't getting laid in their teens.
-
So he's either demanding something I have literally never heard suggested by anyone ever, or saying relations and prospects should be more like they were in every European society in recorded history up to the 1970s. Yup, anyone's guess what he meant.

If we grant that the notion "the solution to being single is to get married" has no undercurrent of coercion, it's as banal as reciting arithmetic.
