    It is doing my head in that there are social media users who don’t seem to know what “incels” are, who are surprised by the violent misogyny in the hate movement calling itself the “incel rebellion”. Women online have been telling you about organised misogyny for years. YEARS.

        I’m deeply envious of anyone unfamiliar with the incels, MGTOWs, MRAs, PUAs, GamerGaters and AVM subscribers that make up the internet’s dark ecology of woman-hating. But me and all the other girls have been subjected to them FOR YEARS. We have been TELLING YOU about all of it.

        What the hell did you think was happening to Anita Sarkeesian? Or Zoe Quinn? Or Leslie Jones? Or Lindy West? Or Jessica Valenti? What, it was just a random coincidence that articulate and influential women were having their lives attacked by a spontaneous upsurge of dickwads?

        Or did we tell you AGAIN AND AGAIN, there are groups behind this, fomenting this, communicating with one another, activating cells, running campaigns? That there is INFRASTRUCTURE to this, as mad and inane and hateful and pointless as a movement of woman-hating is? YES, WE DID.

        We have begged social media companies to take this seriously. We have gone to the police again and again, we have given evidence at senate inquiries, appeared in court, written volumes of tweets and posts and articles about what the dark mould that we have seen bloom.

        This is Misogyny Terrorism. It is a movement with leaders and cadre, with texts and heroes and an ideology *that supports, encourages and exonerates* violence. That has picked a hate target and intends to pursue it like some kind of holy war. Yes, it’s mad. It’s bonkers...

        ... It does not make it ANY LESS DANGEROUS. To us, to you, to the people you love. Dangerous on a personal, public and political level. If you don’t heed the warnings online feminists are giving you, it’s not just feminists who are at risk of what these hateful nutjobs will do.

        I got sent a package of rotten fish at work because of something - pretty benign actually - I said online that an entitled man objected to. The police asked me if I really had to use the internet. My (former) employer asked me to remove any link to them from my profile. >:(

        ‘...really have to use the internet’. Unbelievable that they thought that acceptable.

        Yah. Thanks for that really helpful advice, @QldPolice. Usually a big fan, but that policeman had me rolling my eyes super hard. Crime: 'using the internet while female'.

        Despite being reasonably active on social media and aware of the problem of misogynist abuse I had no idea what incels were until 2 days ago. Put me in a pit and pour compost on my head to relieve me of my shame. Or celebrate the broadening of my insight. Either/either.
