the term "incel" is all over twitter right now because of the attack in toronto. i had never heard that term before today, but i understood it immediately. the scary thing, for me personally, is how easily i might have joined that group if my life was slightly different.
but it could have gone so differently. when i read about those incel groups, it scares me because i see how close i might have been to going down that path. and i'm thankful for my friends who have stuck with me for so long, despite my personal issues.

at this point in my life, i know i'll probably never have a girlfriend and i'll certainly never get married. and you know what? that's fine. my self worth is not based on how many women i've slept with, and i don't judge myself based on what society expects from me.

but i have no idea what to do about men who adopt such toxic views about women and sex. how do you fix that kind of behavior? how do you counter that kind of twisted worldview? i don't know, and i honestly think it's going to get worse before it gets better.
