Only by the end of the article did I realize, (since I’m dense and slow sometimes) this article definitely wasn’t written by a man… because women do the same thing (rating men by personal style and attractiveness.)  It was probably written by a “Becky” and sure enough, I scrolled back up to see who wrote it and… Rebecca it is.

“Incel, the online community of “involuntarily celibate” men radicalized by their shared mistrust of women, has existed on the internet for years. But it wasn’t until Monday, when a man drove a van down a street in Toronto and killed 10 people, that many people knew of its existence.”

(I had never heard of incels before the recent attack in Toronto either.)

Personally, if I see a woman that strikes me as “The Stacy” depicted above I’m completely turned off by the behavior.  Out of those two choices I’d pick “The Becky” any day.  But women are people, unique individuals, not products off an assembly line to be ordered.

I assume that technology will soon provide sufficiently realistic and affordable sexbots and incels won’t even care much about rejection anymore in another decade or two.

“some incels have called for a version of “sexual Marxism,” or a system in which every person is somehow matched with a partner”

I’m against Marxism and communism, but it is an interesting twist to suggest that the communist sharing of unfairly distributed “assets” should include sex and not just money.  “…to each according to his needs” is a line from Karl Marx.  I suspect few female communists view it as a non-monetary suggestion…

I also suspect Camila Vallejo could convert a few men to Communism if she did though…

I also suspect discussion of “incels” will be in the “news” online a lot more for a while.  Thoughts and comments are always welcome on this blog.
