The reddit incel communities *drove out* women who identified as incels b/c of the doctrine that any woman could find a willing sexual partner if they just “lowered their standards”. Self-described incels creates a community founded upon excluding women, & will shout down men

I'm not really sure I agree that there are no non-nazi contexts for aryan but even if I accept that premise, there isn't the same level of google-dictionary confusion on that word
-
Again, this is you trusting very cursory googling over SEVERAL WOMEN with years of knowledge on this who are telling you the same thing. If you want to start a support group for lonely people, that's actually a nice idea, just pick a different name and stop bothering me!
-
I am really not trusting the reference materials over you (and the others flaming me today) - I understand now the misogynist culture you are all yelling about - but the word you are using to describe a group that coopted another meaningful word is apt for this confusion
-
I am offering this as politely as I can -not sure how it’s coming across, as it’s the internet & tone is harder to convey- but, when I was unable to find a date for 7 years, I would have been *offended* by being labeled an “incel”. Men I know who meet the criteria of being unable
-
to find sexual partners also *reject* the word, & would be *devastated* if I called them an incel. I trace this back, specifically, to incel communities “canonizing” Elliot Rodgers for committing multiple murders in vengeance against society for the refusal of “beautiful, blonde”

women to proposition him for sex on the basis of him being existent & in their field of vision. There is a group who identifies w/ the label, & they’ve made it toxic. Why *force* that label on other people who *do not want* it?
-
I am not forcing it on anyone - I saw some tweets with a word I didn't know - I looked it up - the definition appears incorrect or outdated - but is it because: incel not equal involuntary celibacy? or involuntary celibacy not equal sexual frustration? all were once synonyms?
-
Yes. The meanings of words change. Congratulations, you learned a thing. Why don't you look up "mansplaining" next? :P
