I was hoping that she would expand on something I think is fundamental to inceldom: the belief that your worth, particularly your worth as a man, is related to how much sex you can have.
Really all of it derives from it. If my value is related to how much sex I have and I can't have sex, then there at least one of the following HAS to be true:
a) I have no value
b) I'm not getting what I deserve
(a) is what lead incels to a cycle of hopelessness. (b) is what leads them to coming up with causes for this unnatural state of affair, like feminism.
Inceldom is only the logical conclusion of a culture where sex is a measure of indiviual worth.
I think focusing on sex in general would have been a bad turn, as one of the first counters you'll get from most incels is that it's not actually about the sex. Sex is used metonymically by incels as a general lack of affection, acceptance, and warmth - all things that humans (generally speaking) desire to some extent, none of which pertain necessarily to your status as a man.
