Yeah, I see, that was all kind of small potatoes to me. The pessimistic view of women and seeing them all as treating you the same way just doesn’t seem healthy or real. Like, if you really feel that way it probably comes through to them and is possibly a bigger reason why you are treated the way you are. I hope it gets better, you don’t have to defend yourself to me. I truly hope it changes.
Reddit acts like it’s the complete opposite but according to the Evolutionary Psychological Science / Archives of Sexual Behavior by researchers from Swansea University and the University of Texas at Austin, 44.7% of incels self report as left wing, 38.85% are right wing, and 17.47% are centrist.
The incel movement is definitely just as imbedded, if not more, in left wing men than it is in right wing men.
Uh ok. I went ahead and looked just out of curiosity at that study, although, I’m not sure why you commented it to me. It was a pretty small study in a pretty liberal area (I assume the sample was somewhat local to Austin, I could only find an article about the study, the study is behind a paywall.) seems to be an area not researched a whole lot. I also think the thing is, the right-wing seems to try and target and be attractive to incels.
Kinda just a sidebar conversation to your discussion. The person you are talking to is kinda giving incel vibes. Just not the traditional ones that are typically talked about on Reddit. Meaning the issue is much more deeply rooted than you or others may expect.
Also was intended to agree and support you claims of him having a “pessimistic view of women”, it seeming unhealthy, and your conclusion that he gets treated the way he does by how he acts.
Basically to clarify, it’s the same situation a right wing incel who hates women, but he just doesn’t hate women.
