    Incel means involuntarily celibate, just in case you didn’t know & the word Misogyny has lost all meaning thanks to folks like you

    Like dude, you think calling someone an incel invalidates their opinion ? What’s next ? Let’s bring back the N-word ?

    Also, I’m tech-savvy enough to know about Fediverse & the world doesn’t revolve around your half-baked opinions, So go be a sex-obsessed creepy weirdo somewhere else (You clearly are not alone)

      That is the etymology, which was actually coined by a Canadian woman.

      The origins of incel are widely considered to be in 1993 in Quebec, when a young university student known only as Alana created a website to talk about her involuntary celibacy with others. It was called “Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project.” On the website, incel was described as “anybody of any gender who was lonely, had never had sex or who hadn’t had a relationship in a long time.”

      But those roots are long gone.

      (Source: CBC)

      But the concept, “incel”, describes someone who objectifies women, believing they have an inherent right to use their bodies sexually, with or without consent (rape). They are misogynist for that and because they don’t see women as full people, nor understand that women have the same fears and dreams as men.

      Your post history states that you think women have it easy/have no consequences and that misogyny isn’t real, which implies you don’t care to know any real women (non-fictious) on a significant level. Knowing real women means you know how often they are targeted, abused, passed over, underpaid, raped.

      Knowing women’s history-- their fight for the right to vote; to not be considered their husband’s property; to attend school and work; and to have a damn bank account, might perhaps enlighten you to their plight, and change your tone.

      Edit: punctuation

        Women do have it easy, they always have They didn’t have to be conscripted & women back then were actually considered equal to aristocracy & can marry into a rich household

        There’s more to it but hey you’re the one being a creep, you really don’t care about women’s issues, you just want to get into their pants

        Of course Incel was coined by a woman as a shaming term just like Herbivore men

          I hope you feel publicly shamed. Your takes suck. You clearly have very little social intelligence, so you don’t do anything complicated enough to work with a team. You’re too stupid to read about etymology, you’re more concerned with being right than you are being correct. Extremely blockable user.

      Anyone can read about lemmy and install an app. Children do. I’m obsessed with video games. Truly devoid of critical thinking skills in there isn’t it
