Incels on the rise?

Laura Bates of everyday sexism has just released a new book which I am thinking or reading but I’m worried that reading it will depress me. It’s all about the ‘Manosphere’ and ‘Incels’.

I was reading a piece she wrote relating to it and I’m really concerned that she says there are ‘tens of thousands’ of men involved in this.

Is it really that bad? I thought these types were a very, very small minority, a few thousand maybe, but she seems to be suggesting they are on the rise. I find it very frightening that so many men feel this way about women and that they are so extreme and promoting murder and suggesting rape tips. Are we going backwards or am I just being naive and this is just yesterday’s sexism with a new name?

The inception movement seems to have merged with/emerged out of the pick up artist movement - men who see women just as targets for sex. I read The Game ages ago, which was the PUAs' bible, and found it deeply depressing. And it's just got worse.

I hope not, or I hope they keep their sad little lives to themselves and don't harm anyone if they are on the rise.

Crikey! Thank you Abhannmor.
I have obviously led a sheltered life. Wouldn't have been happy if my son was involved in this stuff.
