So the study asked a bunch of extremely misogynistic men if they have lots of sexual partners, and they answered yes - so the conclusion is that the misogynists aren't incels? Did you think, perhaps, the people responding may have lied? Because I can tell you pretty much every last incel I've come across will claim they have had hundreds of sexual adventures when they're trying to impress you. They definitely and provably haven't.
To be an incel, particularly to label oneself an incel, is a declaration of sexual frustration. "That person has no sex life and that isn't their choice".
And if someone has many sexual partners, they are not incels.
Ergo, what I think the article means to say is "extreme misogyny probably not caused by being an incel".
I can understand the assertion, though, that being a shithead to women is about trying to look tough, be an alpha Chad, seem independent and incapable of emotion (like the main character in grease or so many teen movies of yesteryear). It's just easier to spread online now.
