The public recognition of the violent misogyny of “incels” has got me thinking about the ways that we define extremism. Because while incels are cartoonishly repugnant, their views are the logical endpoint of sexist attitudes that we consider mainstream.

I'd like to add, that not all sexual harassment is about wanting or demanding sex, it's often a way for men to claim their power over women. It's a way for a misogynist to humiliate and control a woman. Dominance rather than sex is the end game.
