What are Incels?

À propos de cet épisode

Incel is a portmanteau word which is short for “involuntary celibate”. These people are single despite themselves, and have abandoned any hope of one day finding love or even sex. The incel community is overwhelmingly made up of young men, who are particularly active online, expressing their hatred towards women. Members of this subculture are obsessed by the fact that women apparently refuse to have sex with them. Ironically, the term itself was actually invented by a woman. How can that be the case? Has Incel anger ever manifested itself in physical attacks? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : Which foods shouldn't be eaten together?
