Just by engaging with the idea in this way he is treating it as a serious position that reasonable people can have, when it is really just evil.

Thats not true: Section 8/ Housing Choice Voucher holders often cant find housing. And Douthat is a writer who thinks pornography should be illegal (https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/10/opinion/sunday/lets-ban-porn.html …) & sex outside of marriage is wrong. Its not plausible he would supports the state coercing more sex.

Douthat is elevating a noxious subculture & failing to reckon with the implications, but he's not endorsing them. His thesis is "your sexual liberation leads to ideas like this" not proposing, like, SNAP-for-buying-sex, much less the more evil versions Klep attributes to him.
