<li>In opposition to traditionalists, some blackpillers claim that technological progress, such as highly immersive simulated relationship experiences and realistic sex dolls present a possible solution to increasing male social alienation and inceldom. Critics of these solutions maintain that due to phenomena such as the "uncanny valley" effect, such experiences will prove to be, essentially, an elaborate form of masturbation, and will likely not serve as suitable substitutes for actual sex and companionship. Artificial wombs are also touted as a technological solution for incels who wish to reproduce without a willing female partner. Some blackpillers also view advances in the medical field of plastic surgery as a source of optimism, and claim widespread societal awareness of lookism—potentially leading to government subsidized plastic surgery for incels—would also present a possible solution to the problem. Some argue only changing human nature itself can help, which would either require genetic engineering, thousands of years of selective breeding. | <li>In opposition to traditionalists, some blackpillers claim that technological progress, such as highly immersive simulated relationship experiences and realistic [[sex doll|sex dolls]] present a possible solution to increasing male social alienation and inceldom.

Some propose ''sex communism'' and ''state-issued girlfriends'' as a solution to inceldom, however others have objected that such projects seems unlikely to succeed socially/politically, as they are well outside of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window Overton Window] in all liberal democracies, at least, and as such would likely require an authoritarian state that was invested in solving the problem to sucessfully implement, and it is also seen as doubtful whether healthy relationships can form when a relationship is not "earned", but assigned by fiat. Both men and women often want to be proud of their partner choice. For that, both men and women need to know where they stand. | Some propose ''[[sex communism]]'' and ''state-issued girlfriends'' as a solution to inceldom, however others have objected that such projects seems unlikely to succeed socially/politically, as they are well outside of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window Overton Window] in all liberal democracies, at least, and as such would likely require an authoritarian state that was invested in solving the problem to sucessfully implement, and it is also seen as doubtful whether healthy relationships can form when a relationship is not "earned", but assigned by fiat.

[[Jordan Peterson]] proposes the solution lies primarily in ''enforcing monogamy'', but he opposes the complete abolition of women's emancipation. In his words, "the question is not if, but how".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnEFt20qe0o</ref> Peterson believes social hierarchies are necessary for people to have certainty where they stand which he regards to be important for relationships to form because women [[hypergamy|date up and across the social hierarchy]]. Peterson emphasizes responsibility, "growing up", as well as mental and physical posture, which many incels perceive as [[Chadsplaining]]. | [[Jordan Peterson]] proposes the solution lies primarily in ''[[monogamy|enforcing monogamy]]'', but he opposes the complete abolition of women's emancipation.

Extending the idea of introducing laws and rules to regulate behavior like in ''state-issued girlfriends'', one can consider various ways of punishing singlehood and promiscuity, and reinforcing pairing up monogamously, whether by removing existing conditions (negative) or introducing new ones (positive). | Extending the idea of introducing laws and rules to regulate behavior like in ''state-issued girlfriends'', one can consider various ways of punishing singlehood and promiscuity, and reinforcing pairing up monogamously, whether by removing existing conditions (negative) or introducing new ones (positive). | ||
Blackpillers have proposed state subvention could pay male and female incels for pairing up (''positive reinforcement''). Similarly, | Blackpillers have proposed state subvention could pay male and female incels for pairing up (''positive reinforcement'').{{citation needed}} Similarly, it has been proposed to disincentivize promiscuity and singlehood instead, e.g. by taxing promiscuous behavior<ref>https://www.academia.edu/40699045/Flower_Power_Tax_Academic_Supports_FULL_</ref> and singles (''positive punishment''). Further, one could remove burdens that are associated with pairing up, e.g. abolishing harassment laws and no-fault [[divorce]] laws (''negative reinforcement''). | ||
Lastly, one could e.g. deprive female singles of certain benefits they may have (''negative punishment''). Of course there may be ethical concerns. | Lastly, one could e.g. deprive female singles of certain benefits they may have (''negative punishment''). Of course there may be ethical concerns. | ||
