INCEL is a gendered, sexist term that bases a male's worth on the cultural norm of treating sex with women as a currency for status.

I thought that was the point. We should be condemning them for thinking that way, and incels has become a double term to describe little men who actually think that.
Unpopular and incorrect. Incel was first coined by a woman to describe herself.
- Bad argument, what counts is how a term is actually used, not what it meant originally. (No I'm not saying OP is right)
agreed, that would be the unpopular opinion considering everyone else has it as:
a member of an online community of young men who consider themselves unable to attract women sexually, typically associated with views that are hostile toward women and men who are sexually active.
Look, it isn't that your opinion is popular, it's that it's written in gibberish
I think people made a confusion between "I want to have sex with women, but currently am unable to" (as in, actual incel) and "Women have too much power in the market for sex, we were denied it, and we have to force women to serve us" (as in, patriarchal shitheads but also commonly referred to as incels).
Unfortunately, it is the second one that is pushed most loudly inside and outside incel communities and thereby most commonly discussed, and as with any batshit idea, it faces aggressive response (and it should, we just have to separate two things).
That's how the original pity party of patriarchal incels got weaponized against incels as a whole.
what would be the feminine version of Incel?
- Femcel
  
  but that doesn't make sense? INvoluntary CELibate vs FEMale CELibate?
The fuck language is this? It looks like English but….
