‘Incels’ seem convinced that their hatred springs naturally from a lifetime of being lonely, shy nerds. This is a slur on lonely, shy nerds everywhere, myself included. Most of us do not consider our loneliness or frustration the logical prelude to murder.

Some of the kindest, sweetest men I have met actually do live in their parents’ basements, play a lot of video games, rarely get laid, and would no more consider committing mass murder than they would lop off a limb. Stop excusing violence.

The observation that some men commit violence because they feel alienated is no different from the observation that some school shooters were bullied. Both are true; neither is an excuse. Sincere attempts to understand the causes of violence have nothing to do with making excuses

No, let's try to understand the root causes of hostility, without making excuses for the perpetrators. No man chooses to be an "incel" but a few choose to take it out on women, just as some radical feminists choose to alienate men. Both phenomena should be examined honestly.
