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.
