The Mad And Furious Bachelors

What is the logic of something like the Incel-movement which harbour feelings of extreme misogyny "because a lot of guys can't have a woman or even get laid"? Well, as far as I can see, there is no logic in that claim as nothing in nature caters to or is designed for the benefit of the penis and the sexual needs/demands of the male. However, sadly enough, at some point c. 8,000 years ago, Patriarchy came into existence with the arise and development of the agriculture. 

Women, being the more versatile gender, found a way to make the system even work for them, but with time it became more difficult or just less fulfilling for them. That meant that "the rules of the game" changed from a sort of implied "contract" to free forms of a female life style that upset what had been taken as "nature", but never was. Everything in nature is indicating that what counts is women, and that men are expendable, except for the upkeep of Patriarchy. That's the crux: Do women want the Patriarchy in a modern world, and if so, then for how long????? One generation more, two or maybe three?

All those men who are dreaming of the women former times seem to forget that what made it work was that they, then men, had to provide for their families. When they extoll the women of the 1950s - which somehow  seem to be the dream girls of the incels - they forget that this presumed wonder setting of the roles of the sexes didn't float around in a social vacuum. On the contrary ....

What's so intriguing about the incel subcultures of today is that these young guys feel entitled to sex and a certain way of living, and that what made them feel that way are ideologies, not social or biological facts. They don't like the feeling of being without what makes a man a success in the modern world, including a sexual outlet. Beeing less than a success in what might be called "maleness" makes them angry and even aggressive. Some/Many of them give vent to a violent misogyny that doesn't leave out any suggestions of what "should be done to those damn women".

As it is, men murdering women over sex has been part of the social setting for ages. Male sex criminals abound in shocking numbers. To some it obviously was nothing but a game or a "sport" that gave them the feeling of being "supermen". That being the case makes it even worse and it will take some doing - or as I call it some "sexual exorcism" - even to start a re-establishing of acceptable paths in our society for both sexes.
