8. It is hate for women. Here's Talia Lavin at the Village Voice

Here are a few notable quotes from recent posts on incels.me, a primary forum for incel conversation:

“Female genocide now.”

“Just the thought of women losing their privileges is simply delight [sic].”

“Whenever a fucking whore is referred to as a ‘sex worker,’ it really puts me in the mood to commit genocide.”

“Negligible differences exist nowadays between a human female and an animal female tbh.… The only difference that exists is that human females have abortion and birth control. If we make these two ‘rights’ illegal, they will be no better than some female monkeys who get their asses redded [sic] by thousands of horny male monkeys in the wilderness and give birth each month of the year.”

“They need to be locked up in basements for rape and reproduction purposes.”


One deleted post over the weekend called for female CBC journalists to be shot; the poster used Alek Minassian’s face as his avatar, and listed the address of CBC headquarters.

In other words: It is impossible to separate inceldom from a deep and poisonous hatred of women. (Not coincidentally, Hanson and Douthat, in their unthinkably flippant engagements with the subject, both conveniently ignore that incels intentionally exclude women from their brotherhood of the sex-deprived.)



Though it seems you’re saying it is even WORSE than hate - dehumanization. Reducing women to animals. Whatever it is, it is horrifying. And it is horrifying that GOP “intellectuals” make disingenuous arguments about it and launder these ideas into more mainstream debate.
