So this is a thing?

Who does not know that men usually want sex more urgently and more often than the women in their lives, and can pester them quite a lot about it?

Who does not know that young men are pretty much driven all day and all night, every day and every night, by sexual furies?

Who does not know, who has not known forever, that celibacy drives people, but especially males, nuts?

Nobody can pretend surprise that chronic sexual frustration powers resentment.

There is no doubt it is behind many rapes.

But an on-line "incel" ("involuntary celibacy") movement?

Turning chronic and acute personal sexual frustration into something close to an ideological justification for murder?

When Misogynists Become Terrorists

Anger like that deserves the name of "hate," but not every hate crime is an act of terrorism.

Jessica Valenti doesn't care what the word means.

She just wants to use it as a political and social weapon.

And yet the facts she reports are surprising, frightening, and shocking.

A sample.

In the wake of the Toronto attack, a well-known member of the “pickup artist” community, Daryush Valizadeh, tweeted that “sleeping with only two or three Toronto Tinder sluts would have been enough to stop” Mr. Minassian’s “urge to kill.” 

Mr. Valizadeh has argued for the legalization of rape.

In some of these groups, men who kill women have become heroes. 

After Mr. Rodger went on his shooting spree, one men’s-rights community called what he did “Going Sodini” — a reference to the 2009 shooting in a gym outside of Pittsburgh. 

Before his rampage, Mr. Sodini, 48 at the time, was seeking advice from pickup artists out of a frustration that women decades younger than he was wouldn’t date him.

Later, after Mr. Rodger’s 140-page manifesto was released — outlining his fury over still being a “kissless virgin” — his name became synonymous on misogynist forums with revenge on women who reject men. 

A manifesto left by Chris Harper-Mercer, who shot and killed nine people at Umpqua Community College, even mentioned Mr. Rodger by name as he wrote about being 26 years old with “no girlfriend, a virgin.”

Where the hell is the sexual revolution when you need it?

Wasn't sex education in the schools supposed to help ease kids into being comfortably active with safe, responsible, and un-frightening sex not too long after the onset of puberty?
