I don’t know if this is progress or not, but the slightly more self-aware wing of this tribe seems to have spawned the “level-up/high-value man” branch of wayward masculinity. It insists that men recognize the “natural” divides of attraction/desirability and improve themselves (get fit, dress better, make more money,…

... But in all seriousness - The Incel “Movement” is a scary thing and should not be taken lightly; so, I am glad Laura mentions the 2014 Santa Barbara Shootings and stresses the general dangers towards the end of the article.

I agree with your assessment of what she’s probably envisioning, but, I don’t think that’s a valid or accurate construction of what constitutes “practicing law” to 99.9999% of people who make a living practicing law. She doesn't want to be a lawyer; she wants to play one on TV.

Bro-jobs.  

Very gross. The tone around here is all kinds of fucked up. If the NY Post had published an article in which they said Sydney Sweeney looked dicked down, the Jezebel of old would have gone after them with both barrels. And now Jezebel is the one writing this shit. Between that gross sentence and their fixation on Bill…

B/c their feelings towards homosexuals are very much the same as women: hate. And seeing as I am a gay man, who has extensive experience w/ homophobia, it’s typically internalized feelings they suppress that generates the anger towards what would be their group. Not saying all of them are. But that is my take, and one…

I’m in a depression group that has a lot of incels. I decided to try talking to some one on one and it’s been an interesting experience. Most of them desperately want a connection and the love of another person, they just truly don’t know how to interact in social settings. Many don’t even have male friends because…

Because the celibacy thing is just a front for their real motivation, which is hatred of women.

A win-win! ♥

If it wasn’t for the immense homophobia in these groups, I’d almost suggest a circle jerk to have them truly come together as humans.

I’ve found that most incels I’ve seen in the news wouldn’t be that way if they just tried a little bit harder on their appearance and attitudes not only towards women, but society in general. These guys seem to heap a lot of misdirected rage and blame on things which are largely out of their control instead of focusing…

As I understand it, the thing about incels is not that they believe they cannot get laid by anyone *period*, but rather that they can’t get laid by the right kind of women—i.e., exceptionally conventionally attractive women, which I think they refer to as “Stacys” (the female version of a “Chad”. I learned about all…

I thought the whole meaning behind the word “incel” was that they are involuntarily celibate. That would seem to indicate that if they could get laid, they would. They aren’t proud to be celibate, it’s something that is supposedly forced on them. So why would they get mad when one of their wangless dork leaders is no…

These two are cute, but I made the mistake of listening to them speak for the sole purpose of watching the alleged “jump” that I did not see happen and I am no longer intrigued.

Oh, god, I needed to hear this right now. After an early morning spent googling “depression journals’ and “mental health walking,” I need to remember that this job just sucks it out of me. TY xxoo

Sometimes (Jezebel, not just Ms. Heinrichs) your writing is just kind of gross. Talking about a woman’s potentially dicked-down glow...ffs. Aren’t y’all embarrassed occasionally?

I know he’s only 34 but he looks like her dad. Brad Pitt looked like that when he was 49.

“Apparently, Kim Kardashian could leave reality television and be ‘just as happyʼ practicing law full time.”

Truly wish I never read that Meghan Trainor quote. Washing my eyes out with lye now.
