Yeah no, fuck that shit. Not going to be lectured about how we should handle woman haters with kid gloves because they can't handle rejection.

Like holy shit apparently getting rejected is only hard for cis men and it's really fucking important. Guess what, it sucks for women just as much. Women get rejected too, but no one cares. Hell, no one even believes it because that sexism runs deep. Wait, actually no it sucks more for women because dating isn't just putting your pride on the line, it's risking assault and verbal abuse everytime too. Oh but on top of that they get to hear from incels (and the media) about how easy it is for women to date. But again, no one gives a shit, because they're women, so who cares.

Meanwhile everywhere you look the media is discussing "Oh these poor frustrated young men. What a crisis. Oh those mean feminists! What do we do?" Because shit that's just silently accepted as normal for everyone else to go through is apparently a crisis if it happens to a cis dude.

I'm not going to accommodate a scratched misogynist any more than I would a scratched liberal.

    Want to remind the dudes here being disingenuous and claiming we are all for "shaming men for failing at dating and being lonely" that no, we fucking aren't, obviously.

    Incel doesn't just mean "involuntary celebrate". It refers to a movement of anti-feminist men that specifically hate women and normalise the psychological manipulation of women. Not even mentioning the ones that want to force state mandated girlfriends, which is, you know, sexual fucking assault?

    Unless you are a misogynist, we are not talking about you.

    Plenty of people on this site, including cis men, are able to talk about how much dating sucks without resorting to talking about women as if they are the problem, and without minimising the fact that women go through the same troubles.
