The incel phenomenon has really gone too far. I observed years ago that the only sexual orientation that was forbidden was virginity. I knew as homosexuality and various other sexualities became more and more streamlined into the mainstream that the natural evolution of this entire concept would turn against the idea of saving oneself for marriage. Now, most incels are not that way because of religious convictions. Many of them would throw religious convictions to the wind to lose their virginity. But that’s not really what I’m talking about. I’m talking about people who abstain from sex because of their beliefs, not because they are true incels. Nevertheless, whether that way because of culture/choice or because it was forced upon them, celibacy is being pathologized, and that does not bode well for civilization.
Regardless of its disadvantages, arranged marriage had distinct advantages that make it in some ways superior to the current model. Contrary to today, where all marriages are entered into as a matter of choice (women are not being bought and sold like goats as they once were), over half of marriages end in failure. Millions of kids have never met their own father. Under arranged marriage, most marriages continued until one or the other spouse died. Children were raised by both parents in the household by parents who wanted to be there. And adultery suffered extreme sanctioning which obviously should be brought back. Also, there was a woman for every man. Not every man married the prettiest girl in the village, just like every woman did not marry Adonis. These decisions were made by the fathers, and sometimes with the mothers, in the interests of what was best for the families, the children, and the society, irrespective sometimes of what the young people wanted, But they still found a way to make it work. Unfortunately, the solicitousness of so many women in modern society has made healthy families impossible and will soon undermine the basis of civilization itself, that is if it is not already irreversible.
