We Need to Take These Crimes Seriously

These "incels" are not men to feel sorry for--they are committing hate crimes against women.

Thanks to their upbringing and addiction to porn, these assholes think they have a "right" to have sex.  They don't.  Women aren't fuck toys, they aren't incubators, and they aren't maids.  These men need to work on their social skills before they can even think about having relationships with women.

We women have enough to deal with in this world without more deranged dudes threatening or committing violence because they think they are entitled.

We women don't owe you men anything--ever.

We need to take these hate crimes seriously.

Incel boards have reacted to the Yonge Street massacre in different ways, but incels.me has users declaring the date of the attack “an absolutely glorious day”, celebrating the death of D’Amico, and hoping that there’s more violence to come. These spaces are puerile, yet they normalise violent misogyny and have the potential to radicalise socially isolated or vulnerable men. Some of the users are in it for the lulz; some of them are not joking. The latter become the Umpqua Community College murderer, the Isla Vista murderer, the Yonge Street killer. There’s a pattern here, and we can’t keep ignoring it.

These "incel" boards should be removed from any website.  They are training grounds for murderers and other criminals.

For those who don't understand what these guys are, here is a primer.
