“The Incel’s Veto and Other Observations” – Freddie DeBoer

“The woman across from you at the coffee shop may be someone who will never ever want to fuck you – that is often the case – but she’s also not a jewel locked in a vault that only a six-foot-three hedge fund manager with a Greek statue’s bone structure can crack. Rather, she’s a human being with free will and a body that wants things, a mind that gets lonely sometimes, a heart that may like very much to find someone else to press against in the dark… a person, in other words”
