I have one good thing to say about the incel communities. When I was at my most lonely and a virgin, I would often read through the /r/incel subreddit and think "Wow at least I'm not as sad as these losers."

Women get rejected too, but no one cares. Hell, no one even believes it because that sexism runs deep.

They don't even know that the word incel was literally coined to describe a woman's experience. It's aggravating

Preeeeaaachhhhhhh!!!

When I'd go on dates, 3 different people would know and we'd check in regularly. That shouldn't be normal but men made it necessary.

I swear there are mascs on this site who got badly rejected by a girl they were obsessed with in high school or something and absolutely refuse to let it go, like that experience is one of the core filters they view the entire world through. Idk how else to explain the sheer number of mascs here who explicitly empathize with incels to the point of telling femmes and enbys that ackshully they're the problem for wanting to feel safe

Oh but on top of that they get to hear from incels (and the media) about how easy it is for women to date. But again, no one gives a shit, because they're women, so who cares.

I had one who came onto my tumblr the other day liking a post of mine and when I checked him out he was complaining about how women are never lonely and can have companionship at the drop of a hat. So I blocked him, not putting up with that line of thought.

Unlocking the thread now that more mod eyes are on it, any more he/hims who want to come in here and post paragraphs defending violents misogynists will be copping a ban. Do y'all believe there's a misogyny problem on Hexbear yet?

"Oh these poor frustrated young men. What a crisis. Oh those mean feminists! What do we do?"

There's no male loneliness crisis. There is however a male entitlement crisis.

me when i got rejected: cool, we good tho? continues being good friends

incels when rejected: and now i changed my entire personality and life to be as feral and disgusting as possible

Want to remind the dudes here being disingenuous and claiming we are all for "shaming men for failing at dating and being lonely" that no, we fucking aren't, obviously.

Incel doesn't just mean "involuntary celebrate". It refers to a movement of anti-feminist men that specifically hate women and normalise the psychological manipulation of women. Not even mentioning the ones that want to force state mandated girlfriends, which is, you know, sexual fucking assault?

Unless you are a misogynist, we are not talking about you.

Plenty of people on this site, including cis men, are able to talk about how much dating sucks without resorting to talking about women as if they are the problem, and without minimising the fact that women go through the same troubles.

Work Camps for Incels. Make them build housing or some shit, some good use for their miserable existence for once

I'm apparently the only mod in this comm and don't have time to monitor all the shit opinions cis dudes are throwing around in this thread, so I'm locking it.

Not sure how we get more mods but @CARCOSA@hexbear.net we could use some, thank you!

Wait, actually no it sucks more for women because dating isn't just putting your pride on the line, it's risking assault and verbal abuse everytime too. Oh but on top of that they get to hear from incels (and the media) about how easy it is for women to date. But again, no one gives a shit, because they're women, so who cares.

Denim Day is a day where people wear jeans in solidarity with assault victims after a woman lost aremoved trial. The jury blamed theremoved as her fault because she wore tight jeans. The assaulter went free.

Denim Day takes place on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This day of action and awareness is an event in which people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.[1] The day comes following a high profile Italianremoved trial where the survivor was blamed for herremoved because of the type of jeans she was wearing.[2] In protest and solidarity, individuals are encouraged to wear denim to combat the idea thatremoved and sexual violence are the fault or responsibility of survivors.

This is the way.

Ew who would defend an incel, it is the most pathetic and pitiable bullshit ever

I mean there is a fairly big difference between a regular old misogynist and an incel, and that is that the former thrives within patriarchy and knows how to make the patriarchy work for him, whereas the latter doesn't.

Incels? More like bincels amirite

My whole life growing up before I transed my gender, boys would ask me for advice on talking to girls and I could never understand their inability to treat women like people. I would always give this style of advice and it almost never sunk in. Go figure. All it takes is basic empathy, but apparently that's a very high bar for men-in-general to clear.

PREACH!

They’re absolutely obnoxious and the shit they spew is mind-boggling. They think women love being abused because they date “bad boys” and not the nice seething nerd who spends their free time writing sexist comments online. It’s actually astonishing how these people, some of which have mothers and sisters, have no idea how to treat women and are shocked when men they consider “gay” or “beta” are in healthy relationships.

Thanks for reminding me of this silly essay I read in the NYT last week.

On the one hand, the author is correct re: the status games and ideology in relationships as a toxic thing.

But of course the article is in the service of further austerity (i.e. "ditch the male breadwinner" as cover for further producing precarity in the workforce by being gender neutral about it - it's not just "women's work" and service jobs anymore!). I want a communism/welfare state that also provides for everyone (even the incels). Indeed, our future will be better for women since they won't rely on men. If these idiots can't learn to date/socialize outside of a literal hostage-taking fairy tale myth (i.e. be dependent on me woman princess because I shield you from patriarchy), they must report for reeducation.
