    Clearly you’re the one who lacks reading skills if you didn’t see that 1). The involuntary celibacy project was started by a woman, and 2). It was initially meant for lonely people struggling to find love. Any other meaning attached to the term is a matter of stereotype.

    This is like saying feminism = misandrist because a lot of people that identify with the term hate men. Cmon man, do better.

      Careful there, you’re gonna run out of straw. The woman who started the project also denounced it because it became a breeding ground for bitter, virgin men resentful of women that turned their anger into misogyny. You really don’t seem to know how language works. Grow up.

        🤦

        You haven’t even disagreed with my point. Denouncing it doesn’t change the original intent of the incel movement. If you go back and read the definitions i provided, it is clear that women can be incels as well, so saying it’s a misogynistic group is oxymoronic. Like i said, it would be akin writing off feminism as misandrism because many feminists hate men.

        It’s about the origins of the term and not what it has come to be associated with.
