As ever, the problem is not "inceldom", or any other "stand alone condition/state of mind." Whether it's feminism, wokism, anti-capitalism, inceldom. .

It hardly matters. These are symptomatic expressions of deeper problems. They are NOT primarily ideological commitments.

Distorted minds latch onto ideologies. No matter what kind, doesn't matter. As long as the ideology gives them an excuse to be a victim.

The problem, at base, is terrible parenting. Outright normalized child abuse and neglect.

The outcome is some mix of complicated PTSD, Cluster B personality disorders (Borderline, Narcissistic, Anti-Social).

Normal range people (meaning those without severe child abuse or neglect in their backgrounds) do not do these things. Even if they subscribe to inceldom, feminism, or [name your favorite].

We cannot "stop this problem" by "stopping incels."

We can't stop it at all. I don't believe we're capable of accepting how bad our parenting really is. We will not get at the root cause. And a big reason we won't get there is that it would require women---not just feminists, but women broadly---to accept that they are humans capable of very bad mistakes. That have lifelong consequences for their children.

That will never happen.
