      1/ I shouldn’t comment on @DouthatNYT’s terrible piece arguing that Incel men have a right to sex workers and sex robots. It’s embarrassingly bad. But it’s also missing the point. And as someone that has met many #gamergate members at my college talks, I want to tell you why.

      2/ The majority of Gamergate/Incel men I’ve met share these personality traits. ✅ Undersocialized ✅ Awkward around women ✅ Incapable of understanding how their words/actions make women uncomfortable ✅ Blame others for the social isolation that is a consequence of this

      3/ Really great example. One Alt-righter disrupted one of my college talks by asking a “question” that was a long, sexist monologue. After my talk, he followed me to my car, continuing to try to “debate” me. I was worried I’d be murdered. He had no idea I was uncomfortable.

      4/ I don’t think these young men are fundamentally bad people. We force boys to suppress all emotion, communicate that women are sex objects and not people, and teach them dominance and anger are the best emotional outlet. They suffer from this system. They are MISERABLE.

      5/ Even though I have empathy for them, we can’t put sex workers in danger by making Incels their problem. They will bear the brunt of abuse, violence and even be murdered. Instead, we need to destigmatize therapy. These men need to figure out why people avoid them and grow.

      6/ I believe social skills should be part of an elementary school education. Child psychologists agree. Kids need to know how to deal with the loss of a friend, how to process grief and anger, and how to be a good friend to others. I would vote for that as your congresswoman.

      7/ I mean this genuinely for anyone that is an Incel/Gamergater/Alt-righter. Your actions hurt women, but ultimately you are hurting yourself more. I want you to be happy. Please, find a therapist and start working on this stuff. It will be the best investment you’ve ever made.

          Not only COMPLETELY agree, I KNOW it to be true-I in my 20s fit that description to a T & was just as miserable as you state. Fortunately I developed out of it, but even though I'm happily married & have great female friends I still feel effects of it on my interactions w/ women.

          Many of those absolutely CAN be reached if we try to show them a better way & show them in a productive way how their actions are counterproductive to their goals. But ostracizing and mocking them just makes them dig in deeper.

          The therapy stigma is such a big problem. Therapists are there to help you. Listen to your problems. It’s important. Welll said.

          I always love the empathy you show, even after all you've gone through. They're scary people but they can save themselves, they're suffering before all. And that's indeed where we should lead them.

          They would first have to realize that it is THEIR problem. I’ve been waiting 20 years for the possible incel in my life to realize this, so I’m not holding my breath. Many times, I have talked with him, trying to help, but to no avail.

          If you're talking about your own child maybe you should spend some time reflecting on how your parentage has caused this, and then maybe you should act on it and help them instead of bitching about them on the internet.

          I think your sympathy is misplaced. I can still very clearly remember Elliott Rodger's videos and words - and actions. They were horrifying. You are not describing him, nor the many incels who advocate for things like imprisoning women in their basements as sex slaves.

          As a father of two teenage boys 1st parents need to talk with their kids 2nd teens today of all genders communicate with their phones rather than with eachother and that is a real problem. What we say to the glass in front of us is not what how we would converse in real life.

          The problem is their isolation issues overlap with misogynist and white supremacist agendas as well as an unrealistic sense of white male entitlement being exacerbated by Trump. Its threatening the fabric of our democracy at this point. Your advice sound.

          I guess I'd be considered an 'incel' in other peoples eyes. But truth is I spent my teens and my 20's worrying, then one day I just accepted that no one could love me and I just moved on with my life. I have 2 close lady friends and I'm content to even have those to confide in.

          Brianna, whilst this might be true for gamer gaters who are not incels, this doesn't apply here. Incels have a sub-identity which includes and "glorifies" people with personality disorders or are on the autistic spectrum : mentalcels. Some incels even "fake" autism for status
