I really wish the "Radical Trans Feminism" website's essay on taking everyone's relative oppression into account when dating was still up. It really did provide very good insight not only into the "Cotton Ceiling" discussion, but a lot of the modern discourse that aims to make dating an intersectional hellscape. It was something entitled "Dating Along the Oppression Scale" or something like that, and it was brought to my attention on reddit, in the pre-purge days. Long story short, those with certain "privileges" had a moral responsibility to give sexual access to those who had less privilege. This was stated as a REQUEST or a DEMAND (in caps lock, really), depending on whether the author was talking to men or women, cis people or trans people, etc.

Why t4t but not cis4cis? In a nutshell, because cis people have privilege, and that must be destroyed. This thing really is some Cultural Revolution shit, where they are going after "class enemies." Sexual boundaries are seen as a means of power maintenance, and therefore something that "class enemies" should not have. Yes, there are differences between this and what happened in China (or the Soviet Union, for that matter), but I do think there is a similar mindset.

Crikey does that moral responsibility include incels? Remarkable how this is exactly what some of them like to waffle about constantly! Usually to cries of 'you're not entitled to sex!'
