    The word incel is a portmanteau of ‘involuntary celibacy’ so it means, by definition, ‘not getting pussy’

      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.

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