I feel a somewhat shy, but I've read one post seeing that it's okay to disagree. I'm not exactly communist, but I'm not anti-China, support universal basic income, and that seems to be communist enough for the average Anglo-American, so I hope I should be okay asking about these very touchy subjects.
I would like to know what the answer is among marxists to the questions of
While also boring everyone with my own view.
My short answer, not a marxist myself, though on the left, I don't see why sexual marxism should be avoided. I see it as no different from let's say, housing marxism. So I'm in favor of it and I draw the line at any solution that includes force, coercion or manipulation as I find such solutions inhumane, creating conflict and drama and especially completely unnecessary when the problem comes down to a lack of non-elderly women and the solution to me seems very simple.
The solution?
Just add more women. And since it shouldn't matter if they're artificial, subsidize sex robots and keep them legal. Problem solved.
As for my long answer....
I'll start off with saying that being an anime fan and seeing that the word incel is defined as 'person who has a difficult time finding a partner', I feel like , and that communism is about 'helping the downtrodden', that the term 'sexual marxism' is born.
However, I feel like the incel community is mostly dominated by fascists and the fact that 'the downtrodden' in this market are men warps the entire premise in two ways.
Let me start with group #2. Looking at the incel wiki here are the sexual marxist potential policies:
And the incel wiki has this to add:
"Some blackpillers have mixed feelings on sexual Marxism, as some seem to like the idea of legal mass rape, but everything else they tend to make fun of, or not dwell on much. "
Personally, I would consider #2 as the only policy in the list as truly sexual marxist, while the other three are sexual fascist as policies advocate manipulation, coercion and/or force.
#2 actually has been implemented in the Netherlands between 1992 and 2017 for the disabled and while I think that's a good thing, I kind of feel it's missing the full picture.
Onto group #1, I think the term 'sexual capitalists' suffices for the people who sympathize more with the haves than the have-nots.
Women who are raped in marriage is sad, but it's sad in a similar fashion that small business owners having lost their shops or landlords going bankrupt because their tenants refuse to pay rent during eviction moratorium.
To me it's sad but it also reminds me that I never owned a small business and I never had a marriage partner. They lose something I never had in the first place.
And what I noticed is that those who sympathize the most with them often seems to be related about the status of the cause.
If the perp is an ugly man, if the shop was burned down by poor protesters, think of the poor "This is horrible. We HAVE to DO something about this."
If the perp is a hot woman, if the shop was burned down by a large corperation, "Oh, that's bad. What's for dinner?"
It's almost as if they hate competition coming from below, while supporting anyone that's being punched down except when they themselves are the target.
I don't apply to that line of thought and it gets worse when I start stating solutions that turn have-nots into haves, because I think that any form of scarcity, artificial or natural, is the most pressing issue in a society, and then it suddenly becomes a problem for them.
My line of thought is when I am confonted with a rigged game, I will try to fix the game. When someone tells me "Don't bother with the rigs, just try improving yourself", my reply will always be "What!? No!! This game is rigged! And if a game is rigged, it needs fixing! That's a first priority. Always."
And what annoy me the most about this, is which group is now the largest addressing the issue and which group is the largest defending it.
So here's my point of view.
For starters, sex, unlike most products is a two-way market. One could argue that any market is a two-way-exchange as one gets money and the other one a service or a good, but while a prostitute that offers sex, gets to have sex, a plumber does not get his sink fixed for fixing someone else's sink.
On top of that, a prostitute won't be as keen as a plumber of 'doing the job herself'.
Next to it being a two-way market, it's also an intimate service. Imagine potential policy #3, but then for plumbers. They'd be obligated by one designated costumer to repair their sinks at any time and have their sink 'fixed' at the same time, even when they don't want their sink 'fixed'. That is exploitation. Now if plumbing was an intimate service on top of that, it's exploitation on an intimate level, making the policy even more inhumane.
So sex, or more encompassing, a relationship, is a two-way market intimacy market which of course has demand and supply.
From what I've experienced in life the demand of heterosexual men for women is slightly above 1, while that of women slightly below.
The birth ratio however is approximately 21 men to 20 women and while in the past this quickly dropped due to high infant mortality hitting more boys than girls, this no longer is the case for Europe, North America and Australia since the mid 20th century.
Thus the sex ration stays around 21 to 20 all the way up to the beginning of old age.
And as birth rates are dropping, the previously in history softening solution of a two-year-gap selection, where women can and will choose higher status men by age with an average of two-year older men only exacerbates the problem.
With sex being a two-way intimate market, sexual marxism in my view would have to need a solution that isn't invasive in anyone's life.
And so my solutions are ensuring that there enough women, which can be achieved in the near future through the production of sex robots and further into the future by adding girls via ecto-genesis. So here is my list of potential policies:
P.S. This post was quite long. If there's any gaps in it due to my editing, please let me know.

Chinese traditional wedding customs are derived from thousands of years of Cultural accumulation in China. Chinese people prefer red, believing that red is a symbol of auspiciousness and joy. Therefore, Chinese traditional weddings always use bright red to set off a festive and warm atmosphere. Filial piety, blessing and auspiciousness have become the main themes of the wedding, and almost every ceremony of the wedding is permeated with Chinese philosophy.
Let's take a look at traditional Chinese wedding customs.
According to traditional Chinese etiquette, "three letters" refer to the documents exchanged during the process of betrothal. They are "letters of engagement" -- letters of engagement exchanged at engagement; "Gift letter" -- a list of gifts, detailing the types and quantities of gifts; "meet letter" -- the book to welcome the bride, used when picking up the bride on the wedding day.
It refers to the procedures of marriage and marriage. Respectively for 纳采 "Nacai" -- commonly known as matchmaking, that is, the man's home to ask the matchmaker to the woman's home, the woman promised to discuss after marriage, the man's home prepared gifts to propose; 问名 "Ask a name", commonly known as 合八字 "He ba zi", asks the matchmaker to ask the date and name of the woman's birth and prepare the marriage ceremony. 纳吉 "Naji" - that is, after the man's family bodes well, prepare a gift to inform the woman's family, the marriage preliminarily agreed; 纳征 "Na Zheng"- the man selected auspicious day to the bride's house held engagement ceremony; 请期 "Qing qi"- choose auspicious day to get married, the old choice auspicious day is generally double month double day, do not like to choose three, six, November, three have scattered sound(It means dispersion). Do not choose six because do not want to newlyweds only half-life marriage, November implies bad thing meaning. "Escorting" -- on the wedding day, the man goes to the bride's house to marry her in person with a letter of greeting.
A few days before the wedding, choose a good day, in the new bed will bedding, sheets spread, and then spread on the longfeng quilt, bedding on all kinds of fruit, such as peanuts, red dates, longan, lotus seeds, meaning the couple early birth. The people who carry the bed, make the bed and scatter the fruit are all carefully selected for "good fortune person" - with living parents, siblings, a harmonious marriage and two children, it is natural to hope that such people will bring good luck to the couple.
The escort from the bride's family is a symbol of her family's status and wealth. The dowry was sent to the men’s house no later than the day before the wedding. In addition to clothing accessories, dowry is mainly a symbol of good omen things, such as: scissors, meaning good relationship between husband and wife;Beautiful wedding dresses, Spittoon, also known as posterity bucket; Vase, meaning 花开富贵 “flowers and riches” ; Shoes, meaning grow old together; Chi, meaning fertile fields and so on. Of course, customs and customs vary from place to place.
This is a premarital ceremony for both men and women. On auspicious days, men and women in their respective homes by the local respected people to comb their hair, comb, while saying loudly: a comb to the tail, two comb to white hair eyebrows, three comb to children and grandchildren all over the ground, four comb to four silver bamboo shoots standard.
The bride usually covers her head with a square red scarf with a side length of three feet. The red scarf is called 盖巾 "gai scarf", commonly known as a head covering. There are two theories about this marriage custom: one is that in ancient times the bride was covered with a red veil to cover her shame; Another expression is derived from the ancient saying "predatory marriage", meaning that the bride covered her head and could never find her way back, just like "water poured out by a married daughter", indicating the status of women in ancient times.
On the day of the wedding, when the bride goes out, she stands in the open air and is protected by a red umbrella held by the bride's sister or bridesmaid, which means "opening branches and scattering leaves", and sprinkles rice to the sky and the top of the umbrella.
Crying marriage may seem hard to understand today, but in ancient times, daughters who got married had little chance to meet their family members due to inconvenient transportation. Moreover, after a woman got married, she could not go home to visit her family at any time like now, and the bride had to get the approval of her in-laws to go home. There is also a saying that the origin of crying marriage is because in ancient times, women's marriages were arranged by their parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Women did not have the right to choose freely, so they used crying marriage songs to complain about the unfair marriage system.
Also known as "worship heaven and Earth", it is a very important ceremony in the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, but worship does not belong to the ancient "three books and six rituals". In the wedding ceremony, the master of ceremonies will say loudly: "one worship heaven and earth, two worship gao Tang, husband and wife pay worship, sent into the bridal chamber." Among them, "worship heaven and earth" represents the worship of heaven and earth gods; "Worship gaotang" refers to the male parents salute, express filial piety; "Husband and wife make obeisance" means the husband and wife treat each other with respect. In a way, conjugal worship is a manifestation of one of the few ways in ancient times that women could be placed on an equal footing with men.
In the old days, the groom's brothers could play the game in the house of the newlyweds, meaning to increase happiness for the couple, and to ward off evil spirits and auspiciousness after marriage.
Meaning "guining", the bride returns to her parents' home to report her safety. On the third day of the marriage, the bride accompanied by her husband would return to her parents' home with some gifts to worship her ancestors and then return to her husband's home. In ancient times, it was difficult for a woman to go back to her mother's home after she got married, so it was probably the last chance for a woman to visit her mother's home.
