    I hate the term "incel" -- it cutifies something virulent.https://twitter.com/chick_in_kiev/status/990254567379136512 …

    the dudes who would rather think a typical incel post is a parody rather than engage with the level of hate it displays are the reason women have been screaming a warning about these awful people as they have gone on to kill repeatedly

        What would you call them instead, Prof. Levenson? Misogynist extremists? What term of art best encompasses the ideology for you?

        I'd start with what they call themselves, undisguised by an attempt at clever jargonizing: Involuntary celibates. Men who want sex and can't get it without some form of coercion....

        2/ I'd move on and steal your term, perhaps, to say that those who so self-described are members of an often-cult like extremist misogynist movement that defines women as simply objects for male sexual gratification, and hence subject to violence when they don't comply...

        3/ Or maybe I'd just go for concision and call them pathetic, dangerous losers.
