Incels are finally having their moment. Next they will propose laws requiring hot girls to date them.
Not date them, breed ala handmaids tale
Incels aren't getting shit out of this, this benefits rightwing patriarchs who have abused wives at home.
Incels are alone in a basement or some shit dreaming about being the rightwing patriarch but the rightwing patriarch doesn't likely feel anything but disgust for the incel. They'd purge the incel in a heartbeat if they could.

Ok so
As a single WASP (ok well, I grew up protestant) male in my 30s, who has the confidence of an abandoned kitten, how exactly does this benefit me?
Like I feel like this is supposed to be about men like me getting more power over women. But I fail to see how that helps me at all.
All I can see is that they start here, remove voting rights next, then they remove the ability for women to be licensed to be doctors, or lawyers, dentists, etc. That's gonna fuck my life up immensely.
Just so women can't have a say? Why?
Conservative views on women are absolutely confusing. I know we have to abandon logic with them, but maybe that's the part I don't understand: how the fuck do I think without logic?
That's the thing: it isn't. The patriarchy is bad for 95% of men, as well, but a huge chunk of those believe it's good for them because at least they're not a woman.

When are they going to start coming for the black folks so we can watch Clarence Thomas squirm?
Maybe he'll get fired for being a DEI justice. I honestly don't want whatever would replace him tho.
You mean so we can watch him vote yes on it?
Once they run out of other others.
I'm not from the US: What happened to Katie Britt, who gave her response to Biden's State of the Union address from her kitchen? Is she happy now? I mean, not that I wanted to criticize anyone, but that was totally obvious even before the election.
No, no, no. She's not one of those women, you see. That's for the other women.

Is there a meme of Margaret Atwood looking horrified yet? Because there should be.

Can't wait to see all the videos of right-wing women surprised: "What?!! No one told us he was going to do this! We thought when he said he hated women he was only trolling/owning the libs/joking around!"
I mean, a major problem in society is that two incomes are required to pay off a mortgage - and making one member of that equation unable to work society wide would solve that, leading to mortgages and hence housing price calibration (calibrating it to a single wage income)....
...but I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be a product of gender segregation. Also this seems like it's going to affect a lot of other things and people women's autonomy and hence freedom and safety in jeopardy.
No Bueno.
Realistically, the loss of women's income would lead to a housing crisis as millions of families are unable to pay their mortgage, but it's naive to think housing prices will plummet. Plenty of vulture capital firms and the like will happily scoop those houses up to rent back to us in perpetuity.

There is some phrase involving (symbolic) intercourse and uncovering knowledge describing the sequence of events rather well. What was it again? Have sex and be enlightened? 🤔
