I have so many friends who would 100% be labeled as an incel if they were men. They hold men to impossibly high standards while meeting none of those standards themselves.

For example, women living with parents while expecting men to have their own place, women who are obese but are only interested in fit men, working part time while expecting a man who has a career, refusing to drive and expecting men to chauffeur them around, expecting men to have a variety of friends and interests while doing nothing but watching TV all day, etc.

The worst part is, calling out this inequality will 100% get any man labeled as an incel. We’re expected to either deal with it or be alone forever.

This is NOT to undermine the very real issues women have to deal with, for example the loss of bodily autonomy in the US. But this is still an issue worth discussing and nobody is talking about it.

    There’s a reason your “opinion” is being labeled as that of an incel. It’s because it’s 100% Pure Grade A Incel Bullshit^tm

        What he said was stupid incel bullshit. “Proving” it is meaningless. If course an incel will think he’ll get called an incel for spring stupid incel bullshit. That’s literally what an incel is.

        What’s next? Red paint is red?

      “Women have unrealistic standards” is essentially the incel ethos for existence. OP is just one sentence short of calling them “Stacey”.

        You can have it. Your point is stupid. All you’ve done is act like an incel and claim that people will call you an incel for it. Congratulations. Will your next “unpopular opinion” be that water is wet?
