    The problem, as I see it, is that the majority of men in this position are voluntarily “unfuckable”.

    The original incel was a college aged woman who felt she was being rejected by all her male peers.

    There isn’t a shortage of incel women. They just don’t get the five alarm five media coverage and right wing political pandering that men do.

    Men are taught to fight one another for “prized” women, while women are taught that failing some commercial beauty standard means you doing get to have a love life.

    So you end up with these PUA communities on the guy side - insufferable horndogs constantly chasing tail - while women become hermits out of shame.

    Plenty of people in both pools are “fuckable”. But they’re poisoned into believing they can’t have mature relationships with one another by a mass media full of toxic tropes and derogatory standards.
