        By @wendyzski I prefer David Gerrold's term "celibate by popular demand" - because that better expresses "You are a human trash fire and proud of it and ain't nobody want to tap that"

        Often taught by society and media that if they do certain things, they "get" a woman, and so are certain they've been denied what is their right. Women, to an incel, are rewards, not people with agency.

        Yeah. While these guys are old enough they should be taking a critical look at media, loads of teen movies have had this plot/trope of "frumpy teen nerd guy does XYZ & wins over the prettiest girl at school". That can't be helping things.

        Not to mention video games. And while I haven't done the research, I'll bet there's a pretty big overlap of incels who are gamers. Too many games emphasize the idea that women are rewards.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC6oxBLXtkU …

        Replying to @absurdistwords

        I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit, because I can remember a couple of instances in high school in which a girl who was the subject of a guy’s excessive attention enlisted help of his friends to get him to cool it in a way that didn’t spark bitterness.

        So the girl had to enlist his friends because the boy wouldn’t take a hint. And probably much more than a hint. I hope the girl had a team of friends to support her.

        And what about the girl who doesn't have a team of friends to support her? We need to do a better job of teaching young men what's appropriate and what's not. It is not the job of their female peers to manage that.

        They both traveled in overlapping mixed gender groups of friends, so friendly nudge could pre-empt even minor ugliness. I’d argue that a community in which anyone is so isolated as to have no friends who look out for them suffers from a toxicity that breeds other toxicity.

        So literally every community in existance suffers from toxicity. (I'm not arguing, btw. Just pointing out that communities with isolated members are unbiquitous and our thinking should reflect that reality.)

        I suppose I’m extremely conscious of all of this as I watch my oldest & his class as they are on the cusp of their teen years. There’s a limit to the extent to which parents can intervene with kids that age without being shut out entirely.

        Small interventions that can instruct heterosexuality with boundaries- or queerness with similar boundaries- will be really effective. To talk conversationally with boys and to model appropriate relations between men and women will encourage their buy-in. Best of wishes!

        I may be getting old, but we used to claim voluntary celibacy, even if our own dorkiness drove off women. “Then why you hanging out at the Gas & Sip Friday night?” “Uh… choice, man. BY CHOICE.”

        those are technically called "men go their own way" (MGTOW) now, which is a distinct sub-group from incels. there are also red-pillers, MRAs, PUAs, and others..

        Yikes. I was trying only to make a bad “Say Anything” connection. Interesting, though. My flirtations with celibacy, so to speak, never had a misogynistic component. And “by choice” was always understood as poor cover for still not having figured out how to communicate. 😊
