Incel Culture Is Also Fueled By Unsuccessful Wannabe Patriarchs
They can’t stand the system they help perpetuate any longer
Wannabe patriarchs have finally began to see the rot in the system, and instead of supporting true feminism, they have resorted to discredit women and play the victim.
Younger men who happen to be on the far end of the patriarchal scale, have began to cry out for being ‘disenfranchised’ by a culture they are inherently benefiting from. It’s almost as if they are aware of their privilege but are too toxic to loose it to a woman, irrespective of the glaring negative consequences.
Incel culture is in many ways fueled by wannabe patriarchs. The men who are too frustrated to climb up the patriarchal ladder, end up carrying out the hate they have for the system on women. They blame women for their unsuccessful patriarchal ambitions, and go ahead to punish them at any slight opportunity. Wannabe patriarchs want women to bear the brunt of the negative consequences of patriarchy, and also dim their voices to allow the men play the victim card.
In this current feminism climate, we can say most anti-feminists and incels aren’t only hateful men, but are simply unsuccessful wannabe patriarchs.
The incel culture, can be traced to its inception in the late 1990's, in the West Coast when a teenager, Alana, sought out for like minds (people who shared her sexual quirks) in on an online forum she started. From one connection to the other, the community was born. They identified as people with romance disabilities, and used the term ‘involuntary celibacy’ to label their struggle, thus, birthing the shortened name ‘incel’.
It was a welcoming place, one where men who didn’t know how to talk to women could ask the community’s female members for advice (and vice versa). Zack Beauchamp.
Alana’s social life eventually improved and she ceded her site to someone else. In 2014, she had no idea that the group had become a malevolent misogynistic movement, until she read about Elliot Rodger, who had killed six people and injured fourteen in Isla Vista, California, in an attempt to instigate a “War on Women” for “depriving me of sex” (he then killed himself). Alek Minassian also killed ten people and injured sixteen, in Toronto, a few years later. Prior to doing so, he wrote, on Facebook, “The Incel Rebellion has already begun!” In 2015, Christopher Harper-Mercer, killed nine people, and left behind a manifesto that praised Rodger and lamented his own virginity.
The incel culture has lost its way from where it originally pioneered from, the community has become a safe haven for violent men to express their hate for women and glorify gender massacres. One of the anti-feminine ideologies taking the incel culture by storm over the past decades is the ‘black pill’ phenomenon.
The ‘black pill’ phenomenon antagonizes the sexual freedom of women, and labels them as shallow, cruel creatures who would only socialize with men at the top (attractive men) of the ‘food chain’ if given the choice.
Misogyny is a ripple effect of a patriarchal system, and this male dominated attitude to women, runs across society in a bandwidth just as wide as patriarchy itself. Despite modernism, many of the men today, still don’t see women as their equals, and no matter how much they hide it by jumping on the feminism bandwagon, the effects of this prejudice is as clear as day in society.
Incels sometimes have already given up on climbing the ladders of career, they have given up to the patriarchy, but have decided to pick another victim of the system (women) and use to climb the social and sexual ladder.
The incel culture today, isn’t just a symptom of malevolent men, it’s a haven where men of varying degrees of misogyny have found common ground, and the culture is fueling the ignorance of toxic entitled men who sometimes believe they have the right to have sex with young desirable women on demand. The freedom to not identify with feminism, and the shared platform to dispense your hate for women and people who support them, is a blurry line that links incels to wannabe patriarchs.
Incels aren’t really looking for sex; they’re looking for absolute male supremacy. Jia Tolentino.
Wannabe patriarchs have slowly begun to realize that the only way they can feel included, is to form a mob with other ‘unsuccessful’ patriarchs and bash the ideals of women and feminism. Being violent and spiteful to women is a medium wannabe patriarchs use to express their deep frustration at the system. They get frustrated, and the most unsuccessful ones tend to adopt incel culture.
To understand incels, and why they feel entitled to their voices, you have to observe the ladders of not only a patriarchal society, but a wannabe patriarch wilderness.
Here’s a post by a ‘wannabe patriarch’ as seen on twitter:
The wilderness where the wannabe patriarchs roam, also has competition. Those who can’t bear the life of no spotlight, who lack the courage to become better humans and the patience to allow their fortitude manifest, morph in the dark as incels. Not all wannabe patriarchs involve themselves with incel culture, many of them develop their psyches and climb back on the ‘patriarchal’ ladders, while some loose themselves on the anti-feminism ship. The few on the habour who can’t find middle-ground, get taken away by the incel community.
Unsuccessful wannabe patriarchs are fueling the toxicity of the incel culture, with loads of ignorance, apologists, misogynists and brutality against women. While doing this, they are misplaced in their identity, have no cause, and hide under the collective male ego that yearns for supremacy, under the guise of devaluing women as spoils of social flamboyance.
Incels are so riddled with toxic misogyny that they fail to see that in a world where social connection has been blurred by the internet and social media, real interactions are important now more than ever. The wannabe patriarchs and incels rather spend their unemployed hours in anguish behind a keypad spewing unimaginable hate towards women, than confront their inadequacies.
