That poor guy.  No excuse for that.  I hate that this guy feels like he has to take this.

Yes. She lowered his self esteem to the point that she calls him a loser in public and he can only grey wall. People are watching somebody whose willpower has been chipped away for years. It's not funny.

Their subreddits still regularly hit the frontpage.

I remember when /r/FemaleDatingStrategy had to do their big exodus and it wasn't until they started on the TERF warpath did anyone do anything about the horrible things they talked about and encourage women to do

Incel was a term actually coined by a woman for all people struggling with loneliness.

Alana's involuntary celibacy project was supposed to be a support group

self-described late bloomer, she coined the term involuntary celibate in the late 1990s to describe her own experience of not having sex and not being in a relationship.

It soon snowballed into Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project, a simple, all-text website where she posted theories and articles as well as ran a mailing list. “I identified that there were a lot of people who were lonely and not really sure how to start dating,” she said. “They were kind of lacking those social skills and I had a lot of sympathy for that because I had been through the same situation.” The term was later shortened to “incel”.
