I used to try to give advice to incels on Reddit. In this case, these were guys who were seeking advice on an anti-incel forum, so they had a genuine desire to improve their lives.

It would be remiss not to note the role the current regime in the United States has had in fostering incel culture. Gamergate was a watershed moment in mobilizing online misogyny. Some of the key people fanning the flames of online anger associated with that event include Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos. They…
Well, women are taught that a man is a necessity that they must earn, and men are taught that women are an entitlement they deserve. Seriously, when I have you heard “you’ll never get a wife/woman that way” the way you hear “you’ll never get a man/husband that way?”
I have a male friend I would categorize as “incel-like.” He’s certainly never expressed any violent thoughts but is filled with resentment over the women who are not interested in him. He’s in his early 60s, does not take care of either his health or his appearance, and can be extremely condescending. He believes the…
I actually got a little teary thinking about the fact that I was on hormonal bc for over TWENTY FIVE YEARS, starting as a senior in high school. Hormones are SO powerful and they affect everything. The side effects that I dealt with were often debilitating (migraines, rage, etc.) and they almost completely ended when…
There are many memes floating around suggesting the Alabama abortion law (or sometimes abortion laws in general) are due to a bunch of men dictating and overriding the wishes of women. This is simply wrong and misleading.
This is a good piece (by a Mormon blogger):
Guys like him are just a creepy as the overly aggressive frat bros.
Moby was one of those artists I was embarrassed to listen to even though I liked a few of his songs. He seems like the guy to be all “I like yoga, wear glasses, am vegan and into transcendental meditation. I’m safe! Now fuck me.” Guys like him are just a creepy as the overly aggressive frat bros.
This will get buried in the greys, but whatever.
when Lana Del Rey is calling you out on being a rich WASP, you know you’ve fucked up
Ok but seriously, what *is* in those cases?
People, you live in a community! Interacting with humans is part of that. You won’t love all of those interactions, but we all have a right to exist, and part of comfortably existing as a human being involves asking questions if you’re curious or making pleasantries to break up the awkwardness of strangers existing in…
(Picturing the scene where Travolta or Jackson’s character opens the silver suitcase in “Pulp Fiction”).
I wish I could do this at the salon.
My cousin is a 4th grade teacher, and she said the two most common “what I want to be when I grow up” this year were: YouTube star, social media celebrity.
That’s exactly it, though. The people who will be most affected by this already don’t have the resources to deal with the lack of support they’re getting. So they will not be able to leave these states en masse. The people who can leave don’t need to, because they won’t be affected. It’s all so fucked up.
I wasn’t too thrilled about Hereditary, and this isn’t doing much for me. I get that it’s a horror movie and people make dumb decisions, but if I HAD to go to a festival, that shit better have corporate branding all over and a website, at least. Anything less than that, it’s a cult.
It goes hand in hand with the militarization of the police departments. They’re hiring former military (men), who have been trained to see things as threats to be killed. Then they give them military gear, fear-based training, and send them out.
