    Careful there, you’re gonna run out of straw. The woman who started the project also denounced it because it became a breeding ground for bitter, virgin men resentful of women that turned their anger into misogyny. You really don’t seem to know how language works. Grow up.

      🤦

      You haven’t even disagreed with my point. Denouncing it doesn’t change the original intent of the incel movement. If you go back and read the definitions i provided, it is clear that women can be incels as well, so saying it’s a misogynistic group is oxymoronic. Like i said, it would be akin writing off feminism as misandrism because many feminists hate men.

      It’s about the origins of the term and not what it has come to be associated with.
