As chief justice of online, I now declare it illegal for any man to write about incels unless it is to unpack, reflect and condemn toxic masculinity, male entitlement & the myriad interconnected ways society perpetuates much of these horrific beliefs.

To anchor discussions about the incel community in terms of "access" to "sex" means starting off with their dogma rather than concluding why their dogma is wrong, horrific, sexist nonsense.

But that means confronting problems (cis het) men have as a whole, not merely the more dangerous, toxic & horrific part of our gender. Creepy economists thought experimenting with "access to sex" like it's a resource, not something involving women's consent, should grab a mirror.

If you begin your focus on incels with discussions about sex, you've handed them legitimacy. Don't anchor this about sex. They can call themselves "celibate" but the reality is they're angry at being told no in various ways, about various issues - directly & indirectly.

THANK
YOU
Equating the incel’s demands to just ‘wanting sex’ is akin to saying that rape is about sex. Rape isn’t about sex, rape is about power and control and humiliation and degradation.
