"Volcel" is short for "voluntarily celibate"; it's the opposite of "incel", or "involuntarily celibate". You've probably heard the latter term in recent weeks, being applied to people - mainly of the masculine persuasion -
Yeahso. Tried to add "volcel" to my profile the other day, but, curse Twitter and its character limitations. CURSE THEM.
See, I wanted to do up a thread about volcel vs. incel, but fuck it, I'm gonna do it up anyway. 1/

- who, for one reason or another, couldn't get laid if the future of western civilisation depended on it. Furthermore, incels are known for using sex deprivation as an excuse for shitty behaviour. 3/

They're all, "oh well I can't get any so I get frustrated, and then I get nasty and violent, so boohoo take some pity and have sex with me already." Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh. Listen, guys. I'm not exactly binary, but I'm still assigned male at birth. 4/

There are reasons why I'm volcel, none of which are pertinent to this thread. Point is, I'm living proof that 1. sex isn't everything, and 2. anyone can be a victim of harassment and misconduct, regardless of age, gender, or vocation. 5/

Obviously sex is necessary to the propagation of many species, but for God's sake let it be had by people who WANT it. For people who DON'T want it, well....does that mean it's okay for you to force them to do it anyway just because you do? 6/

Short answer, no. Longer answer, find something better to do. That's how I've managed without it for longer than I care to say - by directing my energy to more worthwhile pursuits. (Yes, "pursuits", not "fursuits.") 7/

But if you can't understand why a co-worker hates your guts, or why your boss won't give you the advance you think you deserve, or why every woman you meet rejects you out of hand....well, perhaps it would behoove you to take a good week-long look in the fucking mirror. 8/

Same thing if you're incel. It's not the heat death of the universe if a woman turns you down for a sexual encounter. You can always go do something else that's useful. 9/

Otherwise, you'll be trapped in a vicious circle. Behave like a pigheaded fool and no woman will give you the time of day, let alone sleep with you. You'll get frustrated and behave even worse. 10/

You'll continue digging yourself in deeper and deeper until you hit molten rock and get burnt to a crisp. Or, you can find a more worthwhile use of your time whilst you wait. Like helping a needy person or broadening your horizons. 11/

Spend your days thinking about more than just where your next sexual encounter is coming from, and you'll feel a lot better about the direction your life is headed in. 12/

'Homo sapiens' have been around for 200,000 years, with an average lifespan of, say, 75 or 80. That's like the blink of an eye. Why would you waste it perseverating over something that's been denied already? 13/

If a woman refuses sex, she has her reasons (which are likely none of your beeswax), and she's within her rights. If you choose to violate that right to bodily autonomy, well, all I can say is, enjoy your stay in the state penitentiary. 14/14
