Yeah no, fuck that shit. Not going to be lectured about how we should handle woman haters with kid gloves because they can’t handle rejection.

Like holy shit apparently getting rejected is only hard for cis men and it’s really fucking important. Guess what, it sucks for women just as much. Women get rejected too, but no one cares. Hell, no one even believes it because that sexism runs deep. 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.

Meanwhile everywhere you look the media is discussing “Oh these poor frustrated young men. What a crisis. Oh those mean feminists! What do we do?” Because shit that’s just silently accepted as normal for everyone else to go through is apparently a crisis if it happens to a cis dude.

I’m not going to accommodate a scratched misogynist any more than I would a scratched liberal.

      Lots of incels were already like that. Some always wanted a reign of terror, but were waiting to do it in a way where they felt there’d be little to no consequence for themselves. The more fascist a place gets the more quiet incels go mask off.

      I guess they always were disgusting people, and they thought they were entitled to a partner because they were “nice” or because they did something nice to said person. Some people will say the upbringing and media could have influenced these people to “become” incels, but I believe most of them already were entitled angry people who just can’t handle a rejection and blame feminism or other stuff for their own faults, at least most of the time.

        When I was fresh out of highschool there was an incel in my circle. Everyday he was around he’d spend at least 10 minutes straight talking about how girls like me never talk guys like him because he’s too nice. He’d list all the nice things he’s ever done for everyone. The whole time, he would talk in the most fragile sad voice he could manage, pretending he was on the edge of bursting into tears. He would even stick out and quiver his bottom lip. “I’m one of the NICEST people ANYONE could EVER meet!,” he’d whimper while fake crying, never producing actual tears. I can’t believe I talked to that guy, I didn’t know any better.

        Word is he now a r*pist.

        EDIT: And he still thinks he’s one of the most incredible and nicest humans in history. Someone says he claims it was sex because she was supposed to just have sex with him. So he’s rationalizing if he takes what he thinks he deserves, non-consent has the same result, non-consent is sex to him.

        A different woman told me she didn’t realize she got assaulted when she was younger because she thought P in the V is what girlfriends are supposed to do. Wether they want to or not. This is a deeply ingrained patriarchal belief across a lot of society. And incels can take part in this belief.
