Except this isn't the main issue here The main issue is that your definition of incel is factually innacurate as shown by the urban dictionary definition

I would say the term is a broad concept that can't be nor shouldn't be confined to very specific meanings in a dictionary. Other people do use it more loosely than those definitions and ultimately not understanding women falls in line with the general idea behind incels

The way dictionaries work is by using the widely agreed upon definition of a word. While yes some words can fit multiple definitions, your usage if the word is really vague and the official definition of the word will be brough against you like what me and Daniel did.
