Incels convinced society they just need sex and that’s the biggest con ever: The Rage of the Incels

“In spite of everything, women are still more willing to look for humanity in the incels than they are in us.” Yup, much to women’s detriment.

Legitimate question: I see women (never men) on my social media commenting on this phenom, as if it’s brand new and very niche and they’re like “What is this thing?”, when I feel like I encounter it (even when I was partnered) all the time for decades now....how is this social dynamic slipping under the radar by them? Most of them aren’t exceptionally attractive, but do average women not get harassed on the street? Do they not understand that to strangers who are men, they are still largely viewed as a collection of parts that is either fuckable or not?

Granted, it is more apparent when you are single or just not next to a man 24:7, but surely partnered women (that’s most of my friends) are not shielded from this?

I guess my overarching question is, which women are moving through the world untouched by misogyny...and how?

Great article, though it made me do a big sigh. How depressing this all is.

LET. THEM. PERISH.

I wonder if incels actually value being able to get with a woman that'd open her legs to 5 billion other men because...well. She has no standards, so, she'd literally say yes to any man.

It's really bizarre seeing how they cannibalize themselves with their inability to acknowledge this or how they would prefer some sort of value or weight being there. I doubt all of them just want sex.

I just saw a tweet today along these lines

I think this article is a good example of why fds boundaries are so important and why liberal feminism is so damaging. I was reading through it thinking "I guess this is a decent if basic intro to incels, but why so much libfem ideology spilling out the seams?" Then I saw the author's name and it triggered a memory. There was a whole scandal where it turned out her parents were human traffickers and she just made excuses for them and lied about it. https://historicly.substack.com/p/trick-mirror-a-reflection-on-mass This is no reflection on you, OP, as I don't expect you to research the past of every person who writes a post you find useful... it's just more of a general thought exercise to me, how someone who buys so thoroughly into choice feminism and feel good clap-trap as Jia is not trustworthy and can't really attack misogyny, due to having bought so many lies before they even try to fight. I like how FDS challenges power structures so much more than liberal feminism ever has.

It’s annoying to read an article that contradicts itself so much on the topic of sex work.

Hateful, misogynistic men are not entitled to sex. Period. They’re not entitled to sex for free, and they’re not entitled to sex for money. Why is that so hard for LibFem journalists to understand?

It takes a hefty amount of classism for this author to think it’s acceptable to send these hateful monsters to a sex worker who will have to absorb their abuse just so more privileged women won’t have to.

Then there’s this little gem: “Women, and L.G.B.T.Q. people, are the activists trying to make sex work legal and safe, to establish alternative arrangements of power and exchange in the sexual market.”

Then, in the very next sentence: “We can’t redistribute women’s bodies as if they are a natural resource; they are the bodies we live in.”

But…sex work literally is treating women’s bodies like a natural resource. And the only way to keep them safe is to keep homicidal misogynists away from them.

Sex workers are humans, and no human should have the likes of Elliot Rodgers or his psychotic disciples foisted on them because no other woman will sleep with them.

Sorry. End rant. Incels should perish…in prison, not in the arms of a sex worker.

Good article & good on her for drawing wider attention to the disgusting nature of the incel community. I do feel like there’s some cognitive dissonance between “you can’t redistribute sex because we aren’t objects” and “fight to legalize sex work and let men just pay for women’s bodies even though those women would never freely have sex with these men” tho

There’s also a podcast episode that you might like on incels (and why people seem so willing to forgive or relate to them) called “The End of Empathy” on Invisibilla by NPR

See how one of the articles she links is literally titled "the redistribution of sex"? Just a few days back I wrote a comment here on FDS saying that goverments will first try to assign us to incels than to admit the problem...and It seems I'm not the only one that thinks it is a potential future for us.
