That was not your complaint, as I understood it. You wondered why it is that women get easier access to casual sex than men. That is easily explained. It's also incorrect to make predicitons about the future based on your present state, the top 80% not being stable, let alone easily determined. If you won the lottery tomorrow, e.g.
No two people have the same experiences. If you look at the most successful people in the world, they generally are not lookers. While I'd say that Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates have no worth to anyone, unfortunately, others disagree. I think you vastly overestimate the effect of being ugly or beautiful, at least for men. Maybe your perspective has been skewed by too much online dating. Because from what I have seen, ugly men (even when not crazily successful) do fine. Most men are so abominable that it's easy to get into the top 20% without even trying.
I don't mean to be condescending, but I will point you to biology again. Who were the men who managed to reproduce a lot in the past? Not those who were best-looking, but those who (1) had social status, either in the form of power or resources and (2) had physical strength. Today, these norms will be less applicable, but they are still applicable all the same, because 250,000 years of evolution is not erased overnight.
All I'll say that you shouldn't base your view of the world on phony 'studies' that can't be replicated, and in this case are actively contradicted by better studies.
Maybe 5%. And among men? Probably less. 3% or so.
Same for me. Then you should unite with others who have made choices, create a political lobby, and make sure you are rewarded for those poor choices.
No one deserves anything. I despise the Age of Entitlement. If you're a cripple and you can't make life work for you, then we will help you out, but if you are the author of your own misfortune, then it's on you.
I think single motherhood is very damaging to society. I do not think it should be accepted. I do think it's the inevitable outcome of a contraception society, quite ironically. Ideally, but I know it's utopian thinking, I'd like to see birth control banned and sexual mores return to the way they were in the 1950s.
I am not sure. This certainly was true for the upper classes, who got married as a sort of business or dynastic arrangement, but for many of the lower classes - people did get married for love. And even if you don't marry your love, you may grow to love your marital partner.
The hysteria around 'incels' is ridiculous. They're simultaneously supposed to be pathetic (which I think is true), and also a great threat and menace. One of these can be true, but not both. As for the blue-haired with 19 facial piercings, they're even more odious than the incels. They should be ridiculed, even if they're not.
