I think it’s rather laudatory to rub an incel the wrong way.
Perhaps I’ll make it a habit whenever I have a free Monday afternoon in the future.
I never said it was just incels you're rubbing the wrong way.That’s fine, too.
You can’t please everyone.
Just because someone disagrees with me or is rubbed the wrong way, doesn’t make me wrong.
This is true.
What you said about entitlement is correct, but I don't think there was anyone in that thread that had expressed any sentiments that were oppositional to that view.I really don’t want to go into what could be construed as attacking a member from a different thread. I was concerned as far as how his desire to “get sex” was expressed. It was kind of an icky way of putting it. It reduces a human being to a sexual object. Since he’s having trouble getting it, he said that it was “unfair because everyone deserves to be happy.”
If the conversation was more about love or relationships, it’d be a little different. Like I said on that thread, it’s not “unfair.” It’s our own responsibility to take care of that sexual need, not someone else’s. It also puts a lot of sexual pressure on a relationship that shouldn’t be there in the first place. It’s a problem that he’s implying that he can’t be happy without someone providing him with sex.
I wanted to express these nuances in a straightforward manner because I know, from experience, that such thinking could be bad in the context of a relationship.
I was blunt and straightforward to make things clear.
