Phew. Perhaps we should take a moment to unpack some of this (the text in the picture, not the quoted tweet, obviously). Paragraph by paragraph:https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/990210358714519553 …

2. Equating their 'legitimate grievances' to the hardship of people living unter a dictatorial regime, really? This is completely hyperbolic and a thinly veiled thread (i.e. 'denying us sex will lead to a violent uprising').
3. Ahh yes, casual ableism. Protip: If you want to make your voice heard in a serious discussion, cut that shit out. I don't care if it's a kinda-sorta quote, you're just showing that you dwell in circles where ableistic slurs are used casually.
4. Makeup goes back to ancient egypt, so this is complete BS. 'Sexual market value' is an arbitrary number, easily disproven by the wide range of beauty ideals depending on global region and zeitgeist.
4a. Also, blaming this on feminism, which has abolishing narrow beauty standards as one of its goals? That's a shot in your own foot there. You can also already see that women's bodily autonomy is not only not wanted by them, but instead regarded as an obstacle.
5. The only one that's making incels look bad are the incels themselves, by killing people in their name and spewing hate inside their groups. Yes, labeling them terrorists does not get rid of the problem. But they are terrorists, and they have to be deradicalized.
6, Beauty and aesthetic is more than a face without makeup. Clothes, makeup, hairstyle etc. are part of one's self-expression, and all count into what makes a human beautiful. Don't get me started on character, demeanor, voice, smell,... There is no 'false advertizing'.
7. As said above, assigning numbers for 'attractiveness' is asinine horseshit. Who should even decide that? Even if this made sense as a mere *concept*, it'd be completely infeasible.
8. This is just straight-up slutshaming and nothing more. Next.
9. This paragraph only refers to men, right? It's a small thing, but take this fact as an indication how the complete text, by default and by design, denies women *any* agency.
10. This is about legalizing rape. No discussion.
11. To deal with the problem would be to, as I said somewhere else, abolish stereotypical gender roles and beauty standards and to teach men that their self-image and societal status does not depend on how much sex they have or how attractive they are.
Conclusion: This text is full of misogynic horseshit and it's surely not a viable solution for the problem at hand. Indeed, it is not even to be discussed at face value because, though carefully worded, it's simply a steaming pile of women-hate. End thread.
