      That’s the entire joke, at least seen from the man’s side.

      These femcels actually believe that they are involuntarily celibate, when it actually comes 100% down to them not wanting the lower-90% of men in any capacity except as simps to do things for them and beta orbiters to maintain their egos.

      That doesn’t make them involuntarily celibate in any way, shape, or form, it just makes them deeply delusional of their own value, and horrendously self-sabotaging.

      Honestly, the hate and gender bigotry coming out of those communities make male incels look like rank amateurs. Men are so wildly behind the curve - compared to women - where gender bigotry is concerned that I’m shocked that men are even considered a problem, much less the problem.

      I mean, when was the last time you heard of men advocating to kill all women except for a small, select breeding population who exists purely to keep the population maintained?

      And yet, this is the fave philosophy of several of feminism’s greatest founders and writers - to bring the male population down to (depending on who is doing the advocating) either less than 1% of the population, or even lower. That men’s only purpose should be for sperm production, and so vanishingly few men would ever be needed except as a minimum level of genetic diversity. These women are lauded and widely celebrated by feminists everywhere.

      You literally cannot make this shit up.

    I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.

    But … she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.

    I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I’d never heard or used the statement before), that ‘not all men’ are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.

    Well … !

    “FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!” And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.

    Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.

      The irony being that,

      1. Men are the overwhelming victims of non-reciprocal physically violent domestic violence; being about 71% of the victims.
      2. Even in terms of random assaults by strangers, over 80% of the victims are men.
      3. And finally, even if we look at the big kahuna of cross-gender rape, it turns out that women rape men as frequently as men rape women. It’s just that not only have most men been brainwashed into thinking that men cannot be raped, but that even the FBI did not consider it as rape until 2015 (so no national stats exist before this time), and even now many police precincts have software that hard-codes the victim as female and the perp as male, further corrupting justice.

      I was just there, looking at a meme that I didn’t understand, with comments that I not only didn’t understand, but don’t even comprehend how they relate to the post.

      I really try to be understanding and tolerant of all perspectives, but don’t think I’ve ever felt more disoriented in my life. It was totally alien to me.

      I chose not to engage, because I couldn’t even figure out what the fuck was going on.

    I browse “All” most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It’s not like this gif though. It’s more like watching a super interesting science experiment.

            Understandable, yes! I lack that too though, I just don’t like to be touched nor touch others, and I do not desire it either. I do like to pet… or I guess more like poke and pat animals (though there’s specific conditions for what type of fur I will tolerate touching), but that’s about it. I can hug my dog but that’s about the extend of it. I also have problems with my own limbs touching each other or my torso which causes more issues honestly. “Touch starved” is something I simply don’t understand lmao

              Until you wrote “I also have problems with my own limbs”, I thought your sensitivity could be due to the warmth of other human bodies which some people find hard to deal with, indeed. But if you also have a constant “pins and needles” feeling and cannot even stand your own touch, so to speak, you might want to look into your sodium levels. It changed things a very great deal for me. Well, that and seriously reducing my caffeine intake.

                Oh no it’s not “pins and needles” it’s just disgust, I have hypersensitivity to touch in general and touching humans is basically just the worst of it for some reason. A bit like you’d step on dog shit or touch something rotting etc. I get the shivers and all that, it’s terrible. If I don’t get the unpleasant touch to stop quick enough, eventually I go crazy and will struggle like a rabid animal, since it’s so intolerable - I know because I’ve gotten to that point couple times by trying jeans on… I don’t know why or how my own limbs can trigger this shit as well, it’s just my stupid corpse being shitty I guess. I can’t do breathing exercises or mindfulness stuff either, because becoming even more aware of my body makes it so much worse

        I just took an NFPA 70E electrical safety course, and the instructor was talking about how electricians love to cuddle.

        I thought it was weird for a sec, then I remembered the last time I opened an electrical panel with someone else nearby. Then I remembered every other time I opened an electrical panel with other people nearby. Then I remembered all the times that I was all the other people nearby.

        Then he showed us a video of an arc flash with 3 people inside the panel, and then there was nobody nearby.

                  It takes the aforementioned set of minerals to cease giving a flying fuck what those that have negative comment for showing your feelings have to say.

                  Society at large doesn’t ridicule for that, merely certain toxic subsets that should be rightfully shunned into nonexistence.

            I mean, you don’t have to be attracted to anything you’re not attracted to. No one is saying “you have to like puppygirls!”

            The point isn’t to fetishize femcels. The point is that double-standards are a problem that maybe understandably lead to people feeling left behind by society.

            Maybe “incels” have a legitimate reason for feeling discontent after all, and it’s not “because women tell them no” like people claim. More like “because people ridicule them for being alone.”

            Lots of lonely guys aren’t lashing out and demeaning others either, but people don’t notice them because they’re not lashing out and demeaning others. They still get labeled as incels though, and if they find that hurtful then people will absolutely shred them for it anyway.

            Also, they’ll be shamed for bed rotting, and shamed for watching yuri. No matter what they do, they’ll be shamed for it. So it’s honestly not surprising when a number of them end up lashing out.

              Are people calling those who don’t behave like assholes “incel” though?

              And do you think that women are not judged if they behave in the femcel manner?

              It seems like you’re applying a double standard, there.

                Yes, people do call even the ones who aren’t being assholes “incels.” It’s a derogatory term that gets used against anyone who doesn’t get laid. Like calling someone a “virgin.” It’s shitty, and it promotes toxic masculinity. It also objectifies women by implying that men need to “get p***y” in order to be worthy of basic respect.

                And I’m tired of hearing this excuse that “it doesn’t refer to literal involuntary celibates, it refers to redpilled misogynistic jerks.” But that simply isn’t true, because people definitely apply it to literal “involuntary celibates” and use it as an insult like calling someone a “virgin.” It’s childish and immature. Also, there are lots of misogynistic jerks who get laid. Focusing all your ire on “incels” misses the point entirely, lets those people off the hook, and perpetuates the issue by communicating the subtext that “you can be a misogynistic jerk as long as you get laid, and then we’ll still respect you.” If you can’t see how that’s toxic and detrimental to society, then I can’t help you.

                And do you think that women are not judged if they behave in the femcel manner?

                They’re more likely to be fetishized, which is bad in a different way. But it certainly hasn’t risen to the level of a cultural pastime like shaming incels has.

                It seems like you’re applying a double standard, there.

                I’m not the one applying a double-standard. I’m pointing out the double-standard.

                I never said “femcels should be shamed, and incels shouldn’t be.”

                I said “femcels don’t get shamed the same way incels do.”

                If the former is how you interpret the latter, that’s on you. If I need to explicitly state what I meant, it’s closer to this:

                “Maybe nobody should be shamed for being lonely and having poor social skills, regardless of gender.”

                If the issue is misogyny, target the misogyny. Not the inability to get sex, because that is going to do nothing to address the misogyny.

                  If they can look up Yaoi, bed rot, or even have the energy to complain about men, they are underemployed. I can’t even think about sex without realizing I could probably pull it off, but my job would get in the way of it, as with anything. The workplace is our god, everything, even family is secondary, because you can’t have family without work.

    It’s been a few years since I delved into the Reddit side, but the femcel communities here are much nicer places to be than the subreddits. There’s some feeling of independence and empowerment here, whereas the subreddits were always overwhelmed by insufferable idiots. They were truly the female version of terminally online incels.
