For the love of God!
Snip: Topics the men will discuss include the ills of feminism, the war on motherhood, beauty and obesity, love and dating, getting pregnant and having "unlimited babies," getting in shape, beating the competition to "become the ultimate wife," and boosting femininity.
The preview picture next to the femininity topic is of a smiling woman, with a statement that "men prefer debt-free virgins without tattoos." Their message is, when women do anything that these bros doesn't like anything that goes against the most antiquated notions of women it's a woman acting like a man, whatever "acting like a man" means.
And a woman acting this way confuses the order of things and ruins the world, say organizers. Only men can say what is proper womanly behavior.

(153,162 posts)Who are these guys who treat women like garbage and then are just STUMPED why women aren't lining up to have sex with them? Certainly MAGAt rally men are candidates.

(34,073 posts)Tickets are only sold to women (so there shouldn't be any men in attendance. And unless you are willing to shell out $999, you won't be told the location.

(82,383 posts)That would put them in quite the quandary, I would imagine.
From the website:
A. Yes this event is for women only. Mothers, grandmothers, and aspiring mothers are all welcome to attend (being a mother is not required, but being a biological female is).

(82,383 posts)They have no good way to know unless they demand birth certificates and IDs - who would do that too on top of the price?
The only people there will be journalists, if any publication thinks it worth covering.

(14,532 posts)They really think that women are going to pay $1,000 to 2,000 to listen to their deranged rantings?
Ms. Toad
(34,073 posts)I wish they were publicizing the location so someone local could wander on by and see if anyone showed up.
But - since it isn't - I'll just have to use my imagination, which will be conjuring up images of a reincarnation of Trumpstock (which was held in a pizza parlor after - theoretically - losing its permit for a bigger venue)

Do you think there will be more men or women there?

So if men (all speakers are men) outnumber women, it is only because there are more speakers than registered participants.

(57,097 posts)I think there will be nothing but the male "teachers" and whatever few wives they have between them.
Ms. Toad
(34,073 posts)But it is not a convention for InCels, since the only ones permitted to attend are biological women.
(Just tired of people reading a headline and responding to the headline without reading the article linked to. It's one way DU helps start and spread fake news.)
treestar
(82,383 posts)for such a thing? They are out of their minds.
I could see paying $20 to go and laugh at it.

I don't understand the whole incel thing. Why don't they hire prostitutes?
