An 18-year-old man suspected of planning attacks against women has been charged by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors in the country’s first case to be exclusively linked to the “incel” movement.
What you’re describing is the etymology of the word, but its actual meaning in public discourse has morphed to “men who see women and any real or perceived slight/rejection from them as the source of all their problems and are thus generally - sometimes extremely - hateful towards them”.
Incel describes most single people. It’s quite a normal state of affairs to not be having sex most of the time if you’re single. Young people need to be told this far more than they are being.
The word incel is a portmanteau of ‘involuntary celibacy’ so it means, by definition, ‘not getting pussy’

Is there a name for people of any gender who hate dating as much as job interviews? :/
Wankers?🙃
hah, yeah, sounds about right.
Are you saying gay men are all incels?
No, quite the opposite, because they voluntarily reject sex with women.
well shit you got me there haha SatansMaggotyCumFart, you have expanded my mind today. I retract my previous incorrect definition.
I mean it really means not having sex, not technically poon
Maybe tell that to the person I was replying to.

Yep. Given the choice, most people would rather be getting laid. Apparently lemmy finds this idea distasteful.
