There's no ultimate morality here, only people fighting to make their views the orthodox ones. Heretics fight against a force much bigger than them. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to take the next step and form a rebellion, get other people on their side.

This is even more serious than heresy, this is called apostasy. Apostates don't get stoned by their peers, they get crucified by the army. But sometimes civil war is necessary to improve the morality of society. Suffrage was one of those times.

It's the common people that adhere to the orthodoxy that does the burning. Not the censors or the inquisition, who had bigger fish to fry. You won't find me out there tarring and feathering incels.

I'm actually somewhat sympathetic to their viewpoint. What I'm not sympathetic at all to is their stubborn obstinacy. Feminism is more important than your sexual satisfaction.

The answer to the incel situation is sex positivism. There is no holy war needed here. Sex positivism is an orthodox solution. The heretics just need to come back to Jesus.
