      whitney trettien Retweeted Robin Hanson

      this associate professor at GMU politely reasons that those in favor of wealth redistribution should also be OK with women’s bodies being redistributed to violent, sexually frustrated men, like the Toronto attacker.https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/989535565895864320 …

      Those w/ less access to sex plausibly suffer simiarly to those with low income, & might similarly hope to organize to lobby for redistribution along this axis. Strikingly, I see little overlap between those concerned about income & sex inequality. http://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/04/two-types-of-envy.html …

      That's not an accurate summary.

      Replying to @whitneytrettien

      As I said in my post, redistribution of sex doesn't have to take the form of coercing women's bodies, it could be cash transfers to those with less sex. And violent men could be excluded from such programs.

      Replying to @robinhanson

      right, in parentheses that include direct redistribution as the first possibility. why are you backing away from your argument? you want to say that if the poor are justified in violent revolution (which you suggest “many” believe, without citation) then incels might be too.

      Replying to @whitneytrettien

      My focus was on comparing attitudes toward the two kinds of inequality. Personally redistribution doesn't appeal to me that much, but I'm fascinated by what drives others' attitudes on it.

      that doesn’t matter to the very obvious thing I’m saying — human bodies are not the same as cash — but regardless, it’s disingenuous to suppose gender doesn’t factor in your reasoning. the Incel Rebellion you point to as the impetus for your post is abouy men angry with women.

          I quoted a recent article focused on unhappy men, and I am a man. But my post and my intellectual interest here are about both men and women. I could have just as easily quoted an article about angry women, had there been one.

          this is disingenuous. you have a documented history of being intellectually interested in men’s rights and the men’s movement. these conversations don’t happen in a vacuum. why not admit it so we can have a conversation unsullied by the ruse of your disinterest?

          If you want to respond to some other post of mine wherein I focus on men, feel free.

          your responses are irrelevant distractions and don’t address what I’ve already said about *this* post, it’s lack of citations and poor reasoning.
