Here's a politician named JB Sanford arguing against women's suffrage in 1911: "Suffrage is not a right. It is a privilege that may or may not be granted. Politics is no place for a women consequently the privilege should not be granted to her. ...The men are able to run the government and take care of the women. Do women have to vote in order to receive the protection of man? Why, men have gone to war, endured every privation and death itself in defense of woman. To man, woman is the dearest creature on earth, and there is no extreme to which he would not go for his mother or sister. By keeping woman in her exalted position man can be induced to do more for her than he could by having her mix up in affairs that will cause him to lose respect and regard for her. Woman does not have to vote to secure her rights. Man will go to any extreme to protect and elevate her now.

Lion of Blogosphere shares this comment on abortion: in his latest post: No one that I personally know has ever gotten an abortion. My main objection to pro-lifers is that they create a burden on taxpayers. This is my main reason for supporting abortion. My family pays way too much in taxes as it is.

LOTB seems to approve of this quote and agree with its underlying logic.... but is it accurate? Does abortion have a eugenic effect? Personally, I don't really ca...
In summary, "incels" or "nice guys" are men who have experienced chronic sexual rejection. In large part, they blame this sexual rejection on women going for "jerks" over themselves. The phrase "friendzone" (the phenomenon of males wanting a romantic relationship with a female that sees him in a more platonic matter) is often associated with these guys. The feminist view says that, in fact, these guys are not "nice" at all. Instead, they feel entitled to sex with certain women just because they were nice to them. Furthermore, this kind of sexual entitlement contributes to violence and misogyny. This view, on its face, seems reasonable. But, the subtle mistakes are quite important. The first one of these is the idea of entitlement. In fact, I agree that, in large part, these males do feel entitled to intimacy. This is where the feminist narrative goes wrong. Feeling entitled to intimacy is not the same thing as feeling entitled to someon...
