Incel

The term incels is derived from involuntary celibate. Accordingly, incels are involuntarily celibate heterosexuals, usually men, who have formed an Internet subculture in the USA. In their misogynistic, i.e., misogynistic attitude, they assume that they have a right to have sexual intercourse with women, even with the use of violence. This is an expression of toxic masculinity. However, incels no longer limit themselves to the sphere of the digital, as the 2004 rampage by Elliot Rodgers in Santa Barbara (USA) showed.
