        Don’t forget the overwhelming general apathy towards, and lack of participation in, politics the majority has.

          well yeah, if we were organized in collectives and unions to actually push for better policy, it wouldn’t matter as much.

        As a leftwing incel I find that offensive, the right wing incels give us a bad name

          I’ll bite, in what way are left wing incels different? Genuinely curious because I’ve never heard incels split into right vs left before.

            I mean an incel is just some one who’s involuntarily celibate, it wasn’t a political thing it used to just be a bunch of awkward guys on the net the BS politics and the insane misogyny all came later.

            What’s even funnier is that often being a „good feminist“ can literally lead you to getting no pussy which often drives these people into even more misogyny. I have extreme anxiety talking to people I find attractive and have a very hard time reading people’s body language as to when they’re sexually interested, the only time I’ve ever managed to pick up a random person has been basically when I acted like a pick up artist. It sucks and I hate it but in cis dating (at least where i live) basically all the responsibility is put on the man and it fucking sucks.

            The right wing incels don’t get a pass for their shitty politics but being starved of intimacy as an adult human is a form of torture imo and it fucking sucks. Not that men or any person has a right to other people’s bodies but I’m pretty sure if you deprived a bunch of men of any form of sexual intimacy 99% of them would go fucking insane. There is a reason why celibacy was considered a spiritual practice or sacrifice for humans it’s not an easy thing to do or be.

              Just ask them, word for word, “do you want to go on a date sometime?” It’s no more anxiety-inducing than anything else, and you don’t have to do any weird pick up artist stuff.

              If they are actually interested in you, they’ll say yes.
