A significant amount of what I have learned on Twitter is about the cockroaches that run under the floorboards. These cockroaches are constantly online, ready to snipe at (mostly) women expressing opinions. If it's a man, they are "SJWs" or "White Knights". But mostly women.
This Incel business has been for me a missing piece in a puzzle about what is wrong with the internet for women. These Incels have been largely hidden and hence not known - or ignored - for a long time. They thrive on grumbling about "not being able to speak their truth" online.

It's a bit like these right wing media types pretending to be "silenced" by the "politically correct" - it's pure artifice. It gives them a martyrdom whilst hidden away in 4Chan and Reddit sub basements. But occasionally we see them emerge, when something really riles them.

I have screenshotted the activities of these sex-obsessed cockroaches over a long time, and most of it gets ignored and glossed over - especially in sport streams. But it's probably time more and more of us reveal just what's happening, so the message bubbles up faster.

Anyway, I probably knew Incels existed - as the "Friendzone" types who take potshots, but it's helpful to have a name for these pests. Having names is helpful.
