sexual frustration is misogyny ?
These are the kinds of terms they use and the kinds of things they say *all the time*. It’s their culture. It’s what they believe, as a community. And it’s what people who identify as “incel” are signaling as their belief structure when they describe themselves as such

This seems no different than finding some horrid white supremacy site and then saying these are terms white people use and blaming all white people I've been told this is a bad analogy but I still don't understand why
-
Bc we’re not talking about involuntarily celibate people, we’re talking about incels, a specific community of involuntarily celibate people who are defined by their misogyny. A better analogy would be “involuntarily celibate people : incels :: white people : white supremacists”
-
except the wikis don't define white supremacy as being white, they call it an ideology - whereas the original meaning and the current wiktionary page make incel a synonym for sexual frustration
-
That’s not true. Incel is an ideology. If it just meant “sexual frustration” then women could be incels too.
-
great - tell it to
@Wiktionary!!! but even with rgw added history@wikipedia the original meaning of the word is not the way you mean it - and so this confusion seems built into the word choice -
Well, yeah, incel was originally coined by a woman to simply mean involuntarily celibate. But that was in the early ‘90s. It’s since been co-opted by a subset of the manosphere.
