What is With the Misogyny!?

Why would you be offended by something I said that hadn’t expressly targeted you? Have I somehow went after you somewhere?

I’m asking for insight from others, not for someone to come along and turn this into an attack on them. I have not nor will not approach you concerning views on would enjoy.

TBH I’m really pissed now. This turned into a sideshow

What you made the post right after someone had some words to say about me that I thought were misguided anyways… but I apologize if you weren’t targeting me in your post. Call me paranoid.

It’s something I have noticed for a few days. Someone DID say something that I flagged but it wasn’t you. I don’t go seeking to hurt anyone, man, and I won’t call you paranoid because that isn’t nice.

Seriously though. I must have missed the post. So ignore everything I say. But mysogony is bad I don’t support it in anyway. But it is hard for a sz to find a relationship. All I have to say.

There’s a handful of guys on here who think they can do and say what they want around here. Whenever a good looking girl (Or any girl sometimes) posts a pic in the selfie thread, last time I checked, there were a couple guys that would drool over every girl posting and it made the whole thread uncomfortable. That’s why I stopped posting in it.

I don’t care if you’re a schizophrenic or not, do not treat women like a piece of meat, simple as. Not targeted at anyone in specific, but it’s pretty obvious if you read through sections of the selfie thread who’s guilty.

Incel is not something I have heard of before. This isn’t happening here is it???

I am not one am I? I don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, and will openly admit that I am incapable at this time to sustain such a relationship with anyone. I would like to be in a relationship, but I need to pull myself together before I can do this.

Does that make me one of these people?

No, you’re fine.

I think a definition was posted up the thread.

Basically Incel is shot for involuntary celibate. The problem is these guys think women owe them sex or whatever else misogynistic men can think of. They like to make nasty comments about bodies and faces of darn near all women.

Discussions in incel forums are often characterized by resentment, misanthropy, self-pity, self-loathing, misogyny, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against sexually active people.

That’s from the Wikipedia article. It doesn’t sound like you to me at all.

I just read this part and thought I might be one as it seemed to be something that you could be unintentionally.

I think the term means “involuntary celibate”. It would probably be a good idea to avoid controversy and politics on this site. Those with experience know that it is never a good idea to discuss politics at a party. It can ruin the whole show. Sometimes it is tempting to discuss politics. I know because I have been tempted. But discussing politics can have the effect of turning otherwise amiable people against each other. It could poison the whole site.

How is misogyny political?

Aside from the obvious.

Icels are absolutely not politics. It is a group of people willfully wishing harm to others. They are people to be avoided if they refuse to stop harassing or trying to harm others. These are often the types behind doxxing women, threatening to rape women for talking on forums or social media and more

Absolutely none of that is political.

That really sucks. Sorry I should have read more into it than the extract above in the thread. After some posts I made yesterday I am a bit on edge about things :frowning:

Sounds horrible. I don’t know how you can trust people who are not family when you hear about things like this. I think this applies also to men as well in some cases. I had dealings with someone like this when I was 16, and he got what I owed him…

Incels are against many of the rights of women. There are a number of areas where women’s rights are political - abortion, child care, equal pay, equal representation in democratic institutions, and so on.

I don’t even know how to reply to this.

Yes, I do…so you are saying g discussing something about women is political? Something that can potentially help someone who is more at risk than the general public- ie a female with mental illness, should not be discussed?

If we we’re calling all men predators or saying white old men are out to get us, sure, I’d get it. But I’m not sure how saying we should not say anything about this is not just insulting as all git out.

Quite a few men desire a female partner and can’t get one. That alone doesn’t make them incels. It is the violent and abusive mindset towards women that marks these people out coupled with the fact they think they are entitled to a woman to possess.
