I just found out something new. Incels.
I had never heard this phrase or term before and decided to check it
out. I thought that this was a joke or some small thing that would go
away. Turns out that it has been around, like, forever, but was given
the name “involuntarily celibate” by a lady from Toronto named
Alana in 1993 after she came out as bisexual. She started a forum
online, Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project, but shut it down
because, surprise!, a bunch of angry ass men joined to rage against
women that didn't want to bone down with them. She stated in 2016
interview in Elle “Like a scientist who invented something that
ended up being a weapon of war, I can't uninvent this word, nor
restrict it to the nicer people who need it.”
Urban Dictionary's top rated definition
states that an Incel is “involuntarily celibate, a person (usually
male) who has a horrible personality and treats women like sexual
objects and thinks his lack of a sex life comes from being ugly when
its really just his blatant sexism and terrible attitude. Incels have
little to no self awareness; even when they see other 'ugly' men with
girlfriends, they consider these men to be tricksters who have
somehow beat the system and can get women despite being cursed with
unattractiveness.” New York Times describe it as
“Incels are misogynists who are deeply suspicious and disparaging
of women, whom they blame for denying them their right to sexual
intercourse.”
