Here's an idea: Women don't owe men shit and if you kill a bunch of people because you weren't getting laid that's completely on you. https://twitter.com/GodDoesnt/status/988798661160206336 …
Incel resentment is a symptom of male entitlement and toxic masculinity. Any solution has to address that. It has nothing to do with sexual competition or biology

The idea that wanting a partner is "entitlement" is precisely why the feminist approach fails. I might be depressed because I'm failing at my career, doesn't mean I feel "entitled" to succeed. Plus most incels hate themselves first and foremost. Your solution can't address this.
-
If you think all incels do is "want a partner" you're delusion. They hate themselves because they think they don't have what they think they should or what they deserve. If they stopped thinking of women and sex as trophies it'd help their self image and mental health.

Where do you think the meme "tfw no gf" was popularized? It explicitly states that they feel depressed because they are alone. Hateful attitudes are a (toxic) way of coping with the resentment of not being able to get a partner.
-
Incels are more than sad about being single, they despise women for putting them in that position. Not having a partner isn't their issue. Any mental health professional they see (& they should see one) would say the same.They need to decouple their worth from sex & relationships
-
I agree with that last part. But this has nothing to do with feminism or feelings of entitlement. It is unequivocally a healthy thing to have a partner and/or friends, and you don't need a patriarchal education to realize that. This is where biology comes in.
-
A partner is tangential, you need social bonds and those can manifest in many ways. A relationship is healthy, but not necessary or a mark on your value as a human. It's certainly not something that people automatically deserve
-
I agree with those last two things! But that's missing the point. Being in an intimate relationship comes with enough good things that it is normal to desire it. Having other bonds helps to cope with not having a gf, but the more toxic incels usually don't even have that.
-
Intimate relationships aren't just with romantic partners and aren't just about sex. They don't need sex or a gf, they need to emotionally grow up and start connecting with people in the real world in healthy ways.
