If every incel somehow got a girlfriend, the net violence in the world would only go up. Because guys who think like this are violent to their girlfriends. It's not their singleness that's dangerous; it's the way they think about women.

"Incel" started as a supportive term for anyone who was celibate & didn't want to be, whether from rural isolation, mental illness or other disability challenges, need of social skills, or whatever causes. It was hijacked to angry misogynist men only.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/25/woman-who-invented-incel-movement-interview-toronto-attack …

Yep. It’s a shame because it really is a problem people need help coping with, but that term is probably ruined forever

I agree. Trying to provide support to help people cope or develop people skills or meet friends, all of that is good but it can't use the term or the phrase anymore to help people find it because it now has this ugly horrid association.

Loneliness is as lethal as smoking. 25% of adult American men have no close friends. Babies and plants grow better the more they're touched. It's long past time we start fighting problems instead of those hurt by them.
