Yeah no, fuck that shit. Not going to be lectured about how we should handle woman haters with kid gloves because they can’t handle rejection.

Like holy shit apparently getting rejected is only hard for cis men and it’s really fucking important. Guess what, it sucks for women just as much. Women get rejected too, but no one cares. Hell, no one even believes it because that sexism runs deep. Wait, actually no it sucks more for women because dating isn’t just putting your pride on the line, it’s risking assault and verbal abuse everytime too. Oh but on top of that they get to hear from incels (and the media) about how easy it is for women to date. But again, no one gives a shit, because they’re women, so who cares.

Meanwhile everywhere you look the media is discussing “Oh these poor frustrated young men. What a crisis. Oh those mean feminists! What do we do?” Because shit that’s just silently accepted as normal for everyone else to go through is apparently a crisis if it happens to a cis dude.

I’m not going to accommodate a scratched misogynist any more than I would a scratched liberal.

      This is fair, making new friends can be hard. Doing activities you enjoy can help but it’s definitely much harder as an adult. Just like romantic relationships, finding friendship requires making an effort and putting yourself out there. The average incel doesn’t seem willing or able to do those things.

        friends is probably harder. my long-term relationship lasted years longer than any platonic acquaintance, which were all some centered on some task or event and dissolved each time as everyone went home.
