And you still don't get it on your 'sexual inequality' comments. Would you discuss poverty and progressive taxation in the same room as a heavily taxed billionaire? I would. Because they are immensely privileged and the taxation is deserving.

Now think about how that conversation is different when discussing sexual needs in the same room with people who were victims of sexual violence. Twitter puts us all in the same room and your words were remarkably incognizant of that...

What if calls for income redistribution are heard by people who have been the victim of economic violence (e.g. victims of muggings)? Would you similarly tone police the leftists calling for income redistribution?

That's a fair point. We should definitely be sensitive when discussing new net financial liabilities for low income/wealth people who have experienced economic violence. The only thing is that leftists pretty consistently wanting wealth given to these folks.

For wealthy people who have had economic violence, it's a mixed bag. We can address it sensitively (I'm not an "eat the rich" kind of person) but that doesn't mean we should withhold material justice out of concern sensitivity. We just modulate the discourse.

Why is it fair to withhold "sexual justice" from deprived people out of concern for sensitivity? You seem to be applying different standards of sensitivity, which is Robin's point.

Money, children, your body, the most private parts of your body are extremely different things and he and you are failing to deal with these differences when building this garbage analogy.

We have better frameworks for this. Namely social insurance. When partners die you don't enslave someone else to be your partner. You get financial benefits e.g. life insurance. When you have a disability you get disability benefits. Etc.

When you're an incel, why don't you get Medicaid for sex? Or just cash comp? That's the question Hanson is asking. Why does everyone feel the need to dodge it and smear him?

One shouldn't get benefits bc they're a Nazi. But if Nazism is due to depression, should get psychiatric care; if due to impoverishment, should get economic benefits. Hanson and you are inadequately addressing vileness of 'incel' misogyny, objectification, violence.

Seems to me a significant part of your disagreement is over differing interpretations of the word 'incel'.
@stucchio interprets it literally as what it's short for: the involuntarily celibate. @AndrewMakeTweet interprets it as those who call themselves 'the incel community'.
