    I mean, involuntary anything isn’t really a choice. It’s right there in the name.

    But the original self-professed incel was a woman, complaining that she was “unfuckable”. The term now tends to describe mostly men who feel fury at some social system that prevents them from caging a TradWife into their house, rather than the 00s era college NEET who just feels like their youth is being wasted because they aren’t getting laid.

    The cliquishness might be a choice, but the condition certainly isn’t.
