    Find myself a little sceptical about the category of the 'incel'. There seems to me to be a pathologising 'explanation' for misogyny there rooted in naturalising sex drives. It's not as though men who get lots of sex aren't capable of tremendous misogyny & violence.

        It is a crazy idea, sure, but we seem to be accepting their claim that lack of sex drives them.

        I feel like they're driven by their obsession with their lack of sex, and their dislike of women. I get very sad when people buy into their ideology.

        (In other words, if it wasn't sex there'd be something they lack that they'd find a way to blame women for)

        It allows people to divorce this group from general societal misogyny which is what all mainstream media have readily been doing. As though they're some kind of anomaly.

        Agreed. Wrongly naturalizes it & shifts blame to women. I do wonder if there's some legitimacy in looking at the ad industry? We know ads objectify & exploit female bodies to sell product. But in the process hetero male arousal is also exploited, with cumulative damage to some.

        I would say you’re right that it’s not a lack of sex. It’s a general dissatisfaction with life, often rooted in a feeling of entitlement to (primarily) women’s attention, affection and love. They would e.g. consider sex workers beneath them. Same for women they consider “ugly”.

        It's a case of social concepts needing to be boiled down to a one word coined term but in reality, something as complex as sex, misogyny and their relation or lack thereof is never going to be reduced.
