incels arent really a part of society in any meaningful way so it doesnt matter

>>22376363
like as if it were a garment? unironically

>>22376364
True

>>22376363
Incels aren't gay faggot pedophiles with AIDS.

>>22376363

I don't think a frenchman born in the early 20th century ever conceived that a grown man would simply go through life not being able to get laid.

>>22376522
I know. I’m asking how Foucault would have perceived incels in light of his view that sexuality was rebranded and became a political tool of sorts

>>22376364
Not really. A married man could be an incel right now. There are more of them than you think in the world and most have to integrate and go through life and suffer in silence.

>>22377140
True but they didn’t exist in his time. Most men could get laid easily as marital rape wasn’t a thing back then.

>bed springs
Is this like an American thing? Never seen a bed with bed springs.
Here we usually have these wooden frames that hold the mattress in place.

>>22376364
What do you mean? They serve the essential function of population reduction through mass shootings and bombings.

>>22377196
You just plop a mattress on it and don’t have box spring underneath?

>>22377225
Yeah. There's no box spring or similar. There's springs in some couches, but even that's often with rather outdated designs. Modern couches tend to not have any such things either.

>>22376363
I'm informed that incels are less than 5% of the adult population. If that's so (though I think it's more than that) then such a miniscule fraction of the population can be ignored.

>>22377338
Nonsense. Half of all incels go unreported. You can’t physically compartmentalize the amount of sexless men in America or the rest of the world.

>>22377235
Mattresses have springs in them unless they're foam or some meme shit like water beds.

Foucault pointed out that the LGBT movement's whole goal of enshrining specific sexual identities (gay, lesbian, etc.) into law would ultimately just create other classes of dejected people looked down on for their sexuality. The leading figures of the sexual revolution all believed demolishing religion, the family, social bonds would pave the way for a new world where people could experience their sexuality individually, everything would be based on free choice and personal preferences and therefore everybody would find relationships they like and be happy. That turned out to be a disaster. In practice, its just created a mass of alienated, frustrated people, unhappiness, dysfunctional relationships, mass lonliness, and incels are the ultimate proof the revolutionaries were wrong. At least in a more conservative era everybody ended up with a partner even if there were a lot of unhappy marriages and adultery. Today, there are a lot of people who just can't compete in the dating market which is now just a job market for sex.

>FOUCAULT'S WRITING is perfect in that the very movement of the text gives an admirable account of what it proposes: on one hand, a powerful generating spiral that is no longer a despotic architecture but a filiation en abyme, coil and strophe without origin (without catastrophe, either), unfolding ever more widely and rigorously; but on the other hand, an interstitial flowing of power that seeps through the whole porous network of the social, the mental, and of bodies, infinitesimally modulating the technologies of power (where the relations of power and seduction are inextricably entangled). All this reads directly in Foucault's discourse (which is also a discourse of power) . It flows, it invests and saturates the entire space it opens. The smallest qualifiers find their way into the slightest interstices of meaning; clauses and chapters wind into spirals; a magistral art of decentering allows the opening of new spaces (spaces of power and of dis course) which are immediately covered up by the meticulous outpouring of Foucault's writing. There's no vacuum here, no phantasm, no backfiring, but a fluid objectivity, a nonlinear, orbital, and flawless writing.

The springs are inside the mattress, not the bed frame
