The result: the nerds get no pussy. And while Scott does not make this point, this distribution is simply not good for society. A family is a powerful motivator and always has been; without any possibility of reproductive success the nerds go off and play computer games (heh).

An intelligent writer would at this point have turned the article towards the moral correctness or lack thereof of restricting women's sexual choices to boost national productivity, or perhaps whether the patriarchy could be considered a unionization of men. As a nerd I of course lean towards the patriarchy, but then I am mildly attached to Western Civilization and it saddens me to watch it commit suicide like this. Still, I can certainly appreciate the flip side. I think it was Menken who wrote some epigram about how miserable it must be to be married to a low status man.

Instead the author goes off on some idiotic tangent about how the average man is sexually assaulting the average woman daily and Scott is a wimp. Verdict: moron.

This.
