My running theory is most of these people are queer to some degree. They end up hating women because they don't have the communication skills to express what they want out of a relationship. When they become unfulfilled then they blame it on the person they think is supposed to be fulfilling them. Sorry boys if you want your SO to peg and domme you you need to tell them.
While I've experienced some pretty horrible misogyny from some gay men, I don't think this is even close to being accurate (and is one more way to make queer people the enemy). There are plenty of straight men who hate women but still want to fuck them. Those things can coexist, unfortunately.
Yeah, I really don't think Andrew Tate's issues spring from a latent attraction to men.
They can, unfortunately. Oof wasn't my intention to make queer people the enemy in any form.
But I've known queer cis men to be misogynistic, granted not to Andrew Tates degree, because they were embarrassed to express their sexual desires.
So this very well could be me with a hammer looking for a nail.
In fact the study shows that the most misogynistic men were the ones getting laid the most.
You know, it wasn't that long ago when it was pretty common for closeted gay men to overcompensate at hiding their gayness to the point of sexism and homophobia. People like that do still exist. I can imagine some incels very well being queer, and acting out either in compensation or confusion and frustration over their own feelings having not come to terms with their sexuality.
I didn't say that there are no incels who are closeted. Just that I don't think that it's anywhere near "most" of them.
That could be a cute romance story. Two incels bond over hating women and SJWs. They get together to play Valorant or browse 4chan in bed together while posting gore. They turn to each other and speak in green text and kiss.
It really would(n't) be but that takes some self awareness and reflection many of them simply don't have the skills to achieve. I'd assume once you have achieved that amount of self awareness you stop hating women but maybe I'm being hopeful.
What? This sort of sounds like some shit an incel would say.
You don't need to be queer to enjoy being dominated by a woman. Kink takes all sexual attractions and genders, as long as everyone is consenting.
So... what you're saying is more or less that misogyny in incels is probably caused by sexual frustration?
