      Angus Johnston Retweeted Ross Douthat

      I’ve now read it twice, and what leaps out for me is the absence of any acknowledgement that what is being contested here is, at least in part, the question of consent.https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/991739548269973504 …

      When so many descriptions of an argument are unrecognizable to its author, that usually suggests the author failed in some important way. Still, I think hostile readers should consider re-reading the piece and I'll try to have some further thoughts a bit later.

      Any discussion of “redistribution” of sex or a “right” to sex that doesn’t center issues of consent is going to raise huge red flags for a lot of people, and rightly so.

      If you write a column about incels and Robin Hanson and don’t note that criticism of their attitudes toward sex are largely grounded in their attitudes about consent, people are going to freak out, and rightly so.

      Incel culture is hostile to female sexual autonomy. Robin Hanson is coy to the point of filibuster when asked about it. You want to discuss them and their critics? Start there.

          More generally, @DouthatNYT, if you believe that consent and sexual autonomy are essential and non-negotiable, say so, and distinguish those who agree with you from those who do not.

          Recognizing that consent is foundational isn’t a guarantee of thoughtfulness on questions of sexual ethics, but refusing to is a sure sign that your ideas are trash. It’s the first step in separating wheat from chaff.

          TLDR: If you’re on the wrong side of the consent question, you can never get anything else about sex right. Lemon out.
