It is doing my head in that there are social media users who don’t seem to know what “incels” are, who are surprised by the violent misogyny in the hate movement calling itself the “incel rebellion”. Women online have been telling you about organised misogyny for years. YEARS.
I did not know what an "Incel" was until yesterday (maybe the day before). Neither did anyone in my extensive (male AND female) coffee circle when I asked. Honestly, we're just not up on misogynistic losers and the jargon surrounding them.

I think the surprise was less that people didn't know the jargon than that they didn't know the phenomenon. It's been there since the beginning of the Internet but actually organized at least for the last decade. Women who state their opinions are frequently threatened or doxxed.
