      like if you routinely talk about something as 1. a meaningless commodity that can be thrown around however you like without consideration or consequence and 2. an absolutely essential facet of a fulfilling life which should be indulged in as much as possible THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS

      The article is less bad than the Discourse suggests, I agree, but it is still bad.

      i wish it had amounted to more than a shrug and "why don't you kids get married" like this kind of response always seems to but idk i found his basic point fairly sound

      idk - I do think that talking about "incel" men without talking about misogyny is an exercise in missing the point...and a 'sex redistribution' scheme just is not the same as thinking through the politics of desire.

          And it is, imo, the lack of talking about misogyny/patriarchy that allows a return to traditional marriage to be a plausible solution to our current (very real) sexual woes as a culture.

          he does very neatly sidestep the matter of the virulent hatred you see on the subreddits, etc. in a way that is unhelpful - but i also think our essential sex problem is that we treat it too lightly and disposably in a way that women are just as guilty of as men

          this may be where our politics diverge, honestly. i mean, i don't disagree that our culture of casual sexual disposibility is sick, but i think that this culture cannot be separated from the system of gender relations in which it emerged.

          yeah i think we fundamentally differ here (and i'm aware that i differ from the vast majority of our contemporaries here as well so it's not a surprise, lol)
