CEOs of big tech companies: You almost certainly have incels as employees. What are you going to do about it?

Here's a great idea. Let's take a group of men who feel marginalized by society, then--because a subset of them are toxic and misogynistic--isolate them and treat them as a social disease. That won't make the problem worse at all.

Yeah, their views and expressions of anger/misogyny should not be normalized or allowed. But, many of these men on the alt-right/incel spectrum are open and wanting to be back in the mainstream of society. They need therapy, not further marginalization.

Their views and expressions of anger should not be normalized: agreed. Should not be allowed? Completely disagree. Opinions and expressions are free and must remain free.

I phrased it poorly. I don't mean they should be fired or arrested. I just meant it shouldn't be normalized or defended when they act in very harmful ways. But, as someone who has felt the same bitterness they have, I can relate. Unfortunately, they blamed all of society.

this is stereotyping. incel just means involuntary celibate and is no broader than that, you don't have to be bitter and anti-social to be bad at the dating game

I'm bad at the dating game. You don't see me writing manifestos and killing women like Elliot Rodgers. Lots of people have romantic/social struggles. Most people, unlike them, don't project it in violent ways.

That's kind of my point. not every incel goes around killing women or writing manifestos. It just means they haven't gotten laid but would like to, that's where the definition of the term stops and goes no further. you're thinking of unhinged misogynists

If you're self-identifying as an "incel", then you're the kind of person most normal people want to -and should- avoid. If you're just not finding someone, but aren't being an asshole about it? You're not an incel.

I'm not identifying as incel, I am not an incel. But ellen didn't say "people identifying as incels" she said incels. Also I totally disagree with you, I think you're being wrongfully prejudiced.

For the purpose of her tweet, you should obviously interpret "incels" as "ppl who identify as incels/with incel ideology". Otherwise it clearly makes no sense.

then she should specify better, because there's no such thing as "incel ideology". it's not an ideology.
