And that too she did not say in an empathetic way. It was in a very condescending way. I do not talk to her anymore. I can assure you that whatever toxic masculinity means semantically. It is used to most of the time for victim blaming. My brother did not deserve that. He was a good fun-loving guy who always respected everyone. This is not what he deserved. Keep doing what you do at this sub. I support you!

One thing I hate about the whole "incel" discussion is that people treat incels as if they are a cohesive group with one ideology, yet they refuse to say the same about feminism.
Feminism is actually an ideology. It has theories at the basis of it. Many pieces of legislation are based on feminist theories. Many of their terms and ideas are based on those theories. Even if any given person who says, "I am a feminist" does not believe those things, the fact is that those thoughts exist, and they are representative of the entity that is feminism.
There's no such analog for incel. There's no "incel handbook", or academic articles written on what being an incel means. There's no core incel theories. It's just a word which originally meant "involuntarily celibate", but has warped to mean "men who are shitty to women because they are pissed off about their lack of success with sex."
And now we are at a point where people act as if "incels" are a cohesive group who all act and think the same, yet if you say something bad about feminism, you get "not all feminists are like that". In what word is "incel" a more cohesive term than "feminist", despite the latter actually having basis for that?
