Incels are a part, not all of that group. But they are a percentage. A greater number of perpetually single men, those who do in fact want a family as opposed to thise who chose not to have one, does mean a greater number of radical incels.

Even without going full radical incel, a great many single males lose hope and lose thier drive to achieve. I work with some. They just dont care about work/money/stability/future in the same was as people with dependant families.

I'm curios if there is a female equivalent of a radical incel?

I haven't been there much but the few discussions I've seen there weren't that toxic, nowhere near Red Pill... I'm curious if you have any examples?

It's actually how the term was originally coined - the first person to identify as an incel was a woman. Perhaps without the "radical" adjective, though.

As a brother of two sisters I would say that (unsurprisingly) the proportion of incels is the same in both sexes, they just express it differently. Women incels are not nearly as visible, but they're there.

One thing they do have in common though is a tendency to get fixated on someone/something, so they're over represented in IT.

/r/femaledatingstrategy has an interesting option that may have similar levels of insularity and cultural integrity.

Some of them call themselves that.

Who cares what they call themselves? That's theres to decide. Do you want them in or out? If you want them out, call them incels, if you want them in, give them the dignity of any other human and call them men.
