Obviously I can understand why mysoginists are hated upon, As their belief is all women are trash or men are superior etc. But why are incels also generally hated upon? They are lacking in a way that makes them unable to gey in a relationship, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean they are mysoginists, right?
What am I missing here? I haven’t ever had a relationship with a woman, but I don’t hate all women either. I just consider myself unlucky. Does that make me an incel?
The word was originally coined by a woman to describe her own situation. It got adopted by the manosphere, and then the connotations changed over time to what it is today, which is a slur and a stereotype label.
Sorry if I sound like a pedantic linguist here. But the meanings and usage of words can change over time.
There’s a podcast called “Incel” that you might find interesting. It’s not my cup of tea, but the host does attempt to form a neutral, high level understanding of the incel subculture.
