The i-word is extremely overused

I remember Elon Musk's child calling him an "incel".

When in reality he is probably the anti-thesis for an "involuntary celibate": two ex-wives, 14+ children from 4+ women. I would bet he also probably has a line of women wanting to have his baby.

I can't take anyone who uses that term seriously anymore.

You're not supposed to say this out loud!

the left started using incel as a derogatory term, then they lost the presidential election as a majority of young men voted against them. Coincidence?

Remember when people were up in arms about "slut shaming" women? The traditional female sexual role is to be choosy about sex, so slut shaming reinforces those traditional conservative values.

The traditional male sexual role is to seek and achieve partners. So by the same token as slut shaming, incel shaming reinforces those traditional conservative values.

Funny though, the exact same crowd that hates slut shaming loves incel shaming...

I don't understand why people use it as an insult? If anything, it's a compliment for being clued up to the current state of affairs and protecting yourself accordingly. 😂

Women, and feminists, will openly call boys losers and blame their life circumstances on them (because male privilege or whatever). But not give them any kind of support or help because only girls deserve help.

Then guys like Andrew Tate come along with the exact same message of “you’re a loser” but then tell them they know the secret to fixing it. And boys fall for it because that’s the message they’ve been hearing from feminists their entire lives, but now here’s a guy offering to help them change.

And then feminists wonder why boys are turning toward “alpha males.”
