So, it's perfectly okay to call men "incels?" But it's sexist and insensitive to call women "crazy cat ladies?" Even though these things are basically the same thing: bitter people who can't get a partner and blame their loneliness on the world instead of themselves.

And then, those same people will claim that it's "Patriarchy" that is preventing men from showing their feelings. Why would ANY man show his feelings when they are met with nothing but insults for doing so?

So incel is a name given to them by others? (The whole "incel" thing is new to me, I don't understand it or where it came from.)

I have only seen social justice advocates and feminists use it unironically, so I'm assuming it originated from them. If it didn't originate with them, they're certainly okay with using it.

I find the terms used differently IMO. I find the cat lady label thrown at any single woman, where as incels is generally used for the angry set of single men. Plus, Incels named themselves. As far as I know Cat ladies didn't, at least on as a group.

The thing I have a problem with is the double standard. (And I think you agree here) It's not that they support the (Crazy cat ladies) CCL, or use the word incel. It's that they have a thing against helping "incels" and use of the term CCL.

Your point is true though the men themselves coined incel
