1) the fact that so-called 'incels' think so lowly of themselves and other fellow human beings as to call for sex redistribution is disgusting.
2) the fact that 'incels' are an actual named group with an identity and discussion surrounding them deeply disturbs something within me. I feel simultaneously that free speech must be upheld but that we cannot give these people a platform. This dissonace is uncomfortable. I also feel that identity politics is is generally bad and that it caused this: the emphasis on all experiences and ideas being special and valuable, and the idea that people with similar apolitical characteristics can and should support each other politically, set the stage for this.
3) There is nothing inherently wrong with sex workers or sex robots but I still wish that myself, my friends, and my family never have a need for them.
To sum up some thoughts and respond to sibling comments: Sex is beautiful but can be horrifying. So much evil has come from it. It seems to me that it should be a private thing done in moderation. 'Private' could include multiple partners or whatever you're into, and 'moderation' could mean different things for different people, I suppose. But the idea is respect and humility and that is found nowhere in this article. Sex "work" seems like a twisted oxymoron, as does a sex "coach". But both may be practical and necessary, I don't know.
I admit this is not really rational argument but an emotional appeal. Is there still room for that in the modern world?
- olliej 8y agoFor point 1, it’s not incels saying sex should be redistributed. The incel mentality is that they are /owed/ sex in exchange for being “nice” to someone (typically a woman, but I’m sure that their a gay incels). The people suggesting redistribution of sex are politicians in response to the incel who went on a rampage killing people because he couldn’t get laid. For 3 sex work is work, like any job it can have fun bits, but at the same time I know former sex workers (weirdly enough it’s a field that becomes less employable as you get older) who said it was a lot of work. You aren’t necessarily doing things you enjoy, but you have to appear like you do. Also apparently golden showers are/were popular which meant they were drinking continuously and holding it. Chafing is a thug, etc.
