It's worth examining our biases about sexuality & intimacy, since these incel guys prey on vulnerable young men to recruit them to be neo-Nazi types. Our collective ideas about sex owe something to the hidden misogyny they are bringing forward.

That’s the feeling I got reading the article. I couldn’t help feel for him in middle school when the girls were making fun of him. Honestly, at that age I would have been happy for them to do that to him because that would mean they weren’t doing it to me.

I’m not sure I know enough about it. I’m still working on my TERF/trans men divide, the far left and the far far left, toxic masculinity everywhere & the goofy name calling between all. Def not a healthy enviro, but how to stop from going there and to pull them back?
