      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.

      It now makes perfect sense what a number of these men have in common. They are either Incels, who have twisted visions of women who have "denied" them the sex they "deserve", or Mostlycels, men who treat their female partners like shit and wonder why there's not more sex.

      Then there are the Excels, who are also Family Court Dads - men who were terrible husbands and now go online and get onto forums or go on Twitter and snipe at people who like AFLW. These are men whose self worth is wrapped around sex and entitlement to it.

      It's little wonder that most of these men associate with Donald Trump, who is the Mostlycel Pinup. Their toxic masculinity cannot be addressed because they are obsessed with why they can't "score", or why their team can't score.

      There's a strain of football fan who is continually obsessed with umpiring and other factors around their team not scoring - and it's a short step for them to look at life and see women as being similarly umpire-like in stopping them from taking what is perceived to be theirs.

      Honestly, I don't know how we address this. When people are slammed together by the internet, toxicity happens. Like with football crowds where people start collectively booing players because of a perception. And our culture doesn't seem to worry too much to stop it.

      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.
