“I haven’t had sex yet” is just called ... life. Like the obsession with men especially loosing their virginity and having sex and “scoring” has been a low key fallacy for a long time. How many TV shows have plots about characters getting laid?

And this is not to endorse anything in a 50 km radius of
#purityculture. It’s toxic and shames people for no good reason. It’s ok to have consensual sex. It’s also ok to not have sex. Nobody is a lesser person for having or not having sex.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
But really, the question that needs a asking is why are so many people defining their life and who they are by whether or not they’re having sex. Like, it’s not a measure of success (and I shoot this equally at LGBT quarters too, we have our own problems with sex as a metric).

And I mean, enough people have probably made the point already about sex as entitlement and toxic masculinity that I don’t need to dive into it.

But what’s really been under reported is how incels have somehow evolved into a whole ideology, it’s almost another one of those quasi-religious movements, in this case you could probably make a good case for it being a cult (or at least cult-like).

The other day I saw someone trying to make up some pseudo-biological cum natural selection argument for incels and “beta males” and you know what it reminded me of? Eugenics. White supremicists and “race theory”. Blood purity. Why do these same themes keep popping up?

How’s the point I’m going to drag religious fundamentalism in here. Why? Because their philosophical gift to the world has largely been strong teleology.

What is teleology? Basically, it’s a belief that there is some natural order to the world, that there is a reason for everything, that there’s some direction to this narrative we call life, the universe, and everything.

This is an idea incels have strongly latched onto, that there’s a reason for their “suffering” that leaves them largely blameless. The universe just has it out for them, and they are just revealing against it.

Now I’m a strong believer in dysteleology. We make our own meanings, there is no direction to the universe except that which we ourselves cause by our actions. And most of all, there is no grande reason for everything. Quite often, shit just happens.

Basically, in short, the whole incel ideology is a mixture of toxic masculinity and some really bad philosophy. It makes no goddamn sense.
