'''Charles Fourier''' was the founder of [[utopian socialism]], a feminist who coined the word [[feminism]], and someone who wanted to organize society into mass communal buildings ("Phalansteries", or "Phalanx"s) which would provide a "sexual minimum" for everyone, including incels.<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/incel-what-is-involuntary-celibates-elliot-rodger-alek-minassian-canada-terrorism-a8335816.html</ref> | '''Charles Fourier''' was the founder of [[utopian socialism]], a feminist who coined the word [[feminism]], and someone who wanted to organize society into mass communal buildings ("Phalansteries", or "Phalanx"s) which would provide a "sexual minimum" for everyone, including incels.<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/incel-what-is-involuntary-celibates-elliot-rodger-alek-minassian-canada-terrorism-a8335816.html</ref> | ||
He was fairly unique among socialists as he saw sexual inequality to be a large causative factor of various social ills,<ref>The Utopian Vision of Charles Fourier, 1983, pg 339</ref> instead of solely focusing his critiques on alienation and economic exploitation, thus preceding [[Michel Clouscard]] and the main character of Michel Houellebecq's novel ''[[Whatever]]'', in his analysis of sexual deprivation from a leftist perspective. Like [[Alex Undersky|Undersky]], and unlike the much less libertarian [[Michel Houellebecq]], Fourier portrays sexual liberalism as inherently good for incels without markets and under certain circumstances. His sex specific writings were not widely known during his lifetime, and were rediscovered in the 1960s.<ref>Beecher, J. Bienvenu, R. 1971.
