    Like many, I learn about “incel” for the first time. Goes back off the internet.

        I have to admit, since @hollahayden told me about incels, I haven’t seen the world the same way. It was profoundly scary.

        I came across one here on Twitter. His feed is disturbing. Filled with hate for women, a sense of deep privilege & being owed by society, demands the govt provide women for sex, & support for mass murderers like Alek M & Eliot R, ie it's women's fault they were violent.

        Ignorance is bad but it is somewhat blissful in retrospect.

        Some dark humour. Not much ‘breeding’ happening with an online community of men who believe they are entitled to sex. A bit heteronormative too. Sorry. Not my best.

        I think everyone knows a guy like this. But what to do about it is a question I haven’t found an answer to. It’s really disturbing stuff.

        Honestly until the California attack last year (or 2016? time is a flat circle) I thought they were a joke. And now they're increasingly killing people. Ugh.

        Hello, Candy Lovers! We all have our favourite flavours, but there can only be one "most popular". So how to narrow it down? Through democracy. And a battle royal tournament. So, get your sweet tooth on, get your voting and RT fingers ready, and let's settle this! #CandyBracket
