While it may not be obvious or in the headlines of the legacy media, there are plenty of female incels, too. Women who have 'hit the wall' are often lonely and rejected just like younger men. Any man over the age of 40 who has used an online dating service is acutely aware that most women in that age group are literally desperate to find their prince charming, but they've missed the bus.

It's different in that many of them could easily find a partner if they lowered their standards (which are largely arbitrary, anyway) but they won't because they've been taught that they deserve someone better than themselves. Men, meanwhile, have been taught that they don't deserve a woman at all.
