[quote=Anonymous]Incels choose to define themselves by their shared station in life:  “involuntary celibate”.

My understanding is that the loose incel trajectory is:  lack of romantic and platonic connections lead them to social isolation lead them to someone who can explain why they are romantically and socially isolated.   Enter Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson.

To be clear, nobody is entitled to another person’s body or to companionship. Full stop. 
 
But there is a thread on the relationship forum right now about some women opting out of dating and marriage and a large consensus in that thread agrees that (most) men just are not worthy of dating and marriage. I think that consensus is mostly right and rational.

But I don’t think episodes of Modern Family, sensitivity training and progressive politics is going to fix the root cause of the problem:  lack of romantic and platonic intimacy for those young men.

And if the problem exists, those young men are going to try to find explanations for their problems.

And the only people who seem to be offering explanations to these young men are the Joe Rogans and Jordan Petersons of the world.  So maybe start there and offer an alternative understanding to them of what is happening. I just struggle to understand what they alternative explanation is that the the incrl would accept. [/quote]
