      The "redistribution of sex" is one of the most fucked up and shocking ideas I have ever heard of -- and I am a queer theorist who has read about everything. Seriously, no one owes you sex, Ross Douthat.

      I think the contradiction that fuels his argument is buried in the ambiguity of how he uses the concept of "redistribution." Taxation is one form of redistribution; nationalizing the Palace of Versailles is another. Neither concept applies here, even by metaphor.

      If the world were ordered differently--materially, ideologically--then we might imagine that sexual pleasure would emerge in different patterns, too. But the thought that incel rage is "about" the "distribution" of sex is the flaw here.

          Incel rage is at base misogynistic and the source of that deep hatred isn't the mirror or the judgemental eye of the one desired. Incel rage is rage that attaches itself to reasons, in this case to the hatred of women.

          Humans need to be touched. Why some of us have access to being touched, to touching, with consent, is a deep and difficult topic. No tweet will do it justice. One would need to talk about gender, age, race, sexual orientation, class, to just get the conversation started.

          The notion that sex robots will address and domesticate "justifiable" incel rage is ludicrous. See also, domestic violence, spousal murder, violence by significant others etc. --

          That Ross Douthat has a NYT column ... well, yet again, I find myself baffled. Sigh.

          Be sure to read Ella Dawson's excellent take on incels as the new Gamergate.https://twitter.com/brosandprose/status/991703605806854144?s=19 …

          Ross Dothan's NYTimes column about "The Redistribution of Sex" is a great example of why people who are not well-versed in sexuality as a field should not be writing about topics as fraught as incels and their violent demands of more sexual gratification from women.

          💯 metaphors of capital don’t apply to people. I will never consent to being treated as a commodity. It’s the grossest conceptual violence of our age, and as we have seen, it produces literal violence in many, many arenas.
