I disagree. Because it’s not just the acquisition of sex—they could go acquire sex right now if they really wanted to. It’s the acquisition of sex that is esteemed by other men—it’s all about patriarchal status and not really about sex or women at all, except as means to that status and target of rage when they can’t…

Found the incel.

OMG their oath.

I don’t think that works, though, because there is no status in fucking a sex robot. And, really, that’s what these men want. They want the status that other men give them for fucking “hot” women. It’s kind of homoerotic when you think about it, which I would like to go tell each and everyone of them.

Totally. I remember arguing with an AIDS denialist on Jezebel (what?) a while ago and every time I refuted his bullshit he’d just talk about how dumb I was, and when I told him I legit worked for an HIV/AIDS research organization he demanded to see proof of employment, like I would dox myself for the satisfaction of…

I promise they 100% don’t think that you can sexually assault your wife and that it’s some feminist conspiracy and they’ll just change that law.

Because you don’t see the dehumanization, marginalization, and fetishization that fat people experience?

I mean, I think a big part of the problem is that no one will. (Although I think he’s married? And I’m sure a lot of patriarchal traitors will, a small but depressing number of women think he’s speaking truth.)

One of the things that’s so fascinating to me is that the original term, involuntary celibacy, was coined by a queer woman. And there are lots of folks (queer folks, folks with disabilities, fat people, etc) who do struggle to find love and sexual partners because we live in an oppressive and disgusting society, but…

Oh man, don’t make sex workers deal with incels. They already face high rates of violence, and I have to think that would only be increased by dealing with these violent, entitled dickwads.

One of the things I find so challenging about men like this is that they think they’ve got it figured out, that they’re operating on a higher plane, but really, their intellectual development is so stunted by their entitlement and misplaced rage that they have the intellectual capacity of a four year old who’s been…

I am deeply convinced that Elon Musk is a comic book villain come to life. He’s just still in the phase where everyone thinks of him as just being a tech genius.

How exciting!

Wait, what?! Charles couldn’t marry Camilla because she wasn’t a virgin? Jesus Christ.

Like what?

IBS poop is not generally that fast and well-formed. You want fast, it’s diarrhea. You want solid, it’s constipation lasting days.

I like that Alec Baldwin is basically his character in It’s Complicated.

Wait. WHAT. Say it isn’t so.

I was super meh about BSB until I watched the documentary on Netflix (uh, twice) and cried (both times). And once even cried TALKING about it.

Here’s the basic problem. You are fine with women having hurt feelings, with their careers being impacted, with their identities being lost. You are not fine with men dealing with even an ounce of friction regarding names.
