I think its mostly about upbringing and peer groups. I had my first relationship and sex in my late twenties. Despite being a very frustrated horny teenager, I never understood the appeal of incel ideology
Right?
“hm, i’m very upset at the fact that i can’t get into a relationship with the opposite gender, surely the solution to this is vocally hating that opposite gender and being as toxic and unpleasant as i can manage”
Like i get being fundamentally unhappy and angry, but surely the natural reaction to that is escaping into fantasy? Spend your days fantasizing about someone from the opposite gender actively loving the things others dislike, or that you’ll eventually turn out to secretly be a turboawesome vampire or whatever.
At what point does a person decide that hating the people they want to get into bed with makes sense??
