Is the Incel movement the natural consequence of feminism?

If so, should Incels be provided with compliant female clones? Or Filipino women?

No idea what you’re talking about. “Incels” ?

@bijouxbroussard involuntary virgins

@DrBenway Ah. Not really, feminism should mean fewer guys are virgins because fewer women are waiting until they get married.

@bijouxbroussard But it also means they have the means to take care of themselves so fewer women are willing to tolerate men with no character, bad looks and low social-economic status.

@Einstok they hate the idea of women having self determination. And they hate Chad.

@Einstok I see. Well, that’s not a bell that can be unrung. I don’t see Western women giving up their autonomy to make these guys feel better.

@bijouxbroussard I know quite a few middle aged women that say they would die to be a housewives. They may be romanticizing it a bit.

@Einstok Yeah, they’re saying it because they’re not. The key is having a choice.

@bijouxbroussard Incels are part of an online subculture that kind of grew after Elliot Rodger, for instance the Toronto van attack was related to the Incel group. They are the same as MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way,) and the red pillers.

Apparently Elliot Rodger is their Patron Saint where they devote pages to him on social media platforms. A few of their members have hurt women before because as the New Yorker writes, it's not about sex, it's about supremacy.

How is Rodger idolised by his fans?

He has been virtually canonised by some fringe communities online. A mock film trailer for "The Supreme Gentleman" in his honour, cut from his clips, was still available on Wednesday on YouTube almost four years after its original upload.

Several versions of these videos, which the BBC raised with YouTube, have now been deleted.

"We encourage anyone who sees material that they think crosses the line to flag it for us," YouTube said.

But lots of fan videos about the rampage killer, and his old YouTube channel, still remain online.

T-shirts of selfies with him posing in sunglasses could also be purchased online through international self-print clothing retailer Redbubble on Wednesday.
