    Yeah - I don’t get it.

    I wrote that whole pointed digression because it’s a thing that’s been shaping itself in my mind lately, and that headline reminded me of it. “Inseminated person” sounds like something out of The Handmaid’s Tale, so I just immediately assumed that it was an example of the incels-in-office in action. That just sounds like such an incel thing to do - to reduce someone’s identity to essentially “one who has been inseminated,” as if having had semen pumped into you is the important part and everything else is just meaningless details.

    I still can’t sort out how that’s supposed to in any way be progressive.
