One interesting development in the [[incelosphere]] in the late 2010s has been the rise of '''biological essentialism''' or '''gender essentialism'''.  The claim that natural or biological sexual instincts can't be overriden or are too hard to be overriden and therefore activism to change the way most people naturally sexually behave on a timescale shorter than thousands of years of human evolution is a waste of time. '''Biological essentialism''' is basically what many original [[blackpill]]ers promote and as such they promote fatalism as incelospherians generally evaluate female nature as negative.
'''Biological essentialism''' is the claim that natural or biological sexual instincts cannot be overridden or are too hard to override and therefore activism to change the way most people naturally sexually behave, on a timescale shorter than thousands of years of human evolution, is a waste of time and potentially dangerous due to the increasingly draconian means that are expected to be used to enforce the change.  
A common counterargument to such fears is that a ''middle ground'' can more realistically be reached, since humans ''are'' malleable to some extent.
Proponents of biological or gender essentialism often have a [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] streak.


The same people who promote this worldview also often claim any attempt at social engineering a change in natural sexuality, like [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]], the sexual barter system or strict monogamy, would require a totalitarian state to enforce provided today's degree of cultural degeneracy. So proponents of biological or gender essentialism often have a [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] streak. A simple counterargument is that a middle ground can more realistically be reached which can at least improve, though not entirely solve, the situation.
Biological essentialism has gained popularity in the [[incelosphere]] in the late 2010s.
Some biological essentialists [[blackpill|blackpillers]] promote fatalism, believing that it is impossible to change female nature, so we should just "give up". Other biological essentialist blackpillers like [[Jordan Peterson]] say one should embrace natural human behavior and use the resulting hierarchies to enforce monogamy to solve or at least mitigate the incel problem.
