The discourse mostly involves two groups of people. One group of people, Group A, saying "Incels are indicative of a larger, more pervasive current in contemporary society that needs to be identified and taken seriously." And then another group of people, Group B, saying basically that the problem with loneliness for men is a real and pervasive one and should be taken seriously, and then extending that argument in a couple different directions - sometimes using it to argue for more traditional gender and family roles, sometimes arguing that incels as a group have a legitimate grievance, sometimes both. The phrase "redistribution of sex" has been used on occasion.

So Group A is telling Group B to shut up, and the discourse is really annoying and stupid - more on Group B's part than Group A's, but Group A still isn't actually great at addressing the reality of loneliness, and they're still allowing the problem to be framed around the idea of "incels" in the first place.
