Ironically, this comment supports Rogan's point. Shaming people for using a particular word is pointless, because the word is just a word. The insult is being called mentally handicapped, regardless of the actual word used. The argument against using the word was to remove the stigma against people with mental disabilities - but people will just come up with a new word. If you are insulting Rogan by insinuating that it is bad to be mentally handicapped, then you are perpetuating that stigma regardless of the particular word.

I'm honestly wondering if this post isn't just missing the forest for the trees. Like, what if it really is all about just guys not getting laid?

Like, OOP goes to college, spends time with lots of women, goes to parties, and sleeps with some of them. His view is now that society is reasonably just, since he now has a reasonable expectation that he will be able to have sex.

I mean, we can think about the various manosphere spaces: the red pill - treat women badly to get sex; mgtow - give up on relationships with women and just do your own thing; incels - just give up, you were doomed to l be a virgin from the start; "male loneliness epidemic", aka, I can't get a girlfriend. And then we have Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson giving these men advice, which if you remove the toxicity, boils down to: stop caring about what women think of you, take care of yourself, work out, get hobbies, spend time with friends, do well in your career. Which is pretty good advice to follow if you are a man, looking for women!

And it's not like sex is some trivial thing, either. From an evolutionary point of view, if you can't have sex and have no expectation of being able to get it in the future, that's a death worse than death. It is the end of your genes, which are programmed to want to continue existing even more than any individual is.

So if you're looking to deradicalize young men, it's possible that the solution is to just give them a straightforward path to getting some pussy.

Look up "polarizing" as a dating strategy. You don't have to attract everyone. Just the people who are into what you're into.

Outsourcing is a solution.

I'm confused as to what your objection is.

Not really. I'd say that most fetishes heavily favor one gender or another.

Who said it isn't working?

No, but a lot of women are really into giving pleasure to their partners, whatever that might entail (within boundaries). So if a guy is really into feet and shows it, there's a decent chance his partner will get off on indulging his fetish. Plus, I assume foot fetishists give the best foot massages.
