I did a couple of times, and I feel bad. I came into this expecting an entitled MRA but he seems genuinely unwell. Everyone should just back away and hope he gets better.

I share your concern. I don't think Jezebel should engage with this person.

So there's a near-perfect correspondence between the number of aspiring male cinematographers, editors, writers, directors and grips (interesting ordering you used, btw) and the number of positions?

Not being too sensitive, I also agree with you.

Duder. I'm not seeing any links and I just did (a little) research on incel. If you truly believe it isn't about sex and it's something you can't control or help, to the point of asking your own mother to sleep with you, you need to be enrolled in sexual addiction counseling and medicated. A good, heavy dose of SSRIs…

My thoughts exactly. I think we're all making fun of a mentally I'll person here, guys. Not cool.

That'd involve getting near one, that he didnt have something on to blackmail. So, possibly a totally unheard of issue?

I'm also worried about that, no so, I don't think it's silly to worry about.

If those ideas revolve around how much you hate us and want to hurt us, I would tell you to share with a therapist, but it seems like you aren't interested. Just try to remember we are humans who have other humans who love us and would be heartbroken if we were killed by you. That may not seem like a big deal, but it…

I feel like it's important to point out that this person seems not well, do we really want to mock him? Mental illness isn't a joke. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but what if he goes off on some women because of what we said? Is it silly to worry about that?

I guess I should be offended or something, but this is the only reaction I can come up with...

This morning she told me she doesn’t want to force anything so we shouldn’t meet at all. According to her, it was over.

I tend to have a hit and miss relationship with feminism sites (Well, pretty much only Jezebel, honestly). Some days what I learn from reading here is immeasurably helpful, insightful, encouraging, etc. Yesterday was one of those days. Other days I'll read something on here that makes me want to curl up in a ball and…

So why can't you just be nicer to women? Do you have male friends? And if you are able to make male friends, why couldn't you make female friends?

You guyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. He is heeeeeeeeeeere.

can we hope?

I heard about this guy a few days ago because he made a Tumblr account and he's more mentally ill than this article makes him out to be. He literally thinks the government and his parents should be considered murderers because they won't find him a girlfriend. He has tried to make his female therapist and his own…

I'm in a similar position. It's a pity, because when I've read some Incel/love-shy stuff before there's been some stuff that was valuable, mostly focused on how society puts so much focus on getting laid/being in a relationship and erases those of us who can't or don't have that. But then you also have the huge…

Ha, that anyone would come up with this amuses me. I don't know if I have social anxiety, but I cannot find a date to save my life. In that respect I could call myself an "Incel." However, I recognize that this is mostly my fault; a combination of a low self confidence and unreasonably high expectations does not make…
