He searched for sororities

On the one hand women are terfs, on the other hand women are those bitches who won’t have sex with every man who asks. (Women who do have sex with every man who asks are of course sluts.)

An Ohio man who was part of an online community of “incels,” or misogynists who blame women for denying them what they believe is their right to sexual intercourse, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with plotting to shoot students in sororities, federal prosecutors said.

Not trans women, please note, just women. We’re constantly told about how vulnerable trans women are, but they’re not the targets of incels. I go on thinking trans women are not as vulnerable as women.

From July 2019 to March 2020, according to a federal indictment, Mr. Genco was active on a website for “incels,” short for involuntary celibates, a label that members of the community claim for themselves.

And a label that assumes men are somehow owed sex with women, which in turn assumes that women have no right to refuse to have sex with a man.

On Aug. 3, 2019, Mr. Genco wrote a manifesto titled “A Hideous Symphony,” by “Tres Genco, the socially exiled Incel,” in which he stated that he would “slaughter” women out of “hatred, jealousy and revenge,” prosecutors said. That same day, Mr. Genco searched online for sororities and a university in Ohio, which was not named in a federal indictment.

On Jan. 11, 2020, prosecutors said, Mr. Genco wrote another document entitled “isolated,” in which he said: “If you’re reading this, I’ve done something horrible. Somehow you’ve come across the writings of the deluded and homicidal,” prosecutors said. He signed the document, “Your hopeful friend and murderer.”

All because he can’t get sex with a woman on demand.

It’s weird to feel that entitled.

    Perhaps this is just the other side of the coin vs. those who report their instructors for teaching real biology and comes from the same source?

    Currently reading Laura Bates’ “Men Who Hate Women”. In her Chapter on Incels, she writes

    This worldview might sound ridiculous. But it is an ideology to which incels adhere with remarkable tenacity. This isn’t just a group of websites on which men spout random profanities and abuse. It is a movement, cult-like in the loyalty and passion of its devotees. Incels are not just looking for a place to share rape fantasies and violent posts; they are invested in building and spreading an entire belief system to support and encourage such ideas.

    I couldn’t help but note the similarity of incels with TRAs, the same adherence to, and desire to spread, an ideology that has hatred of women at its core.

    Roj, thanks for reminding me. I’d been meaning to get that book. I just ordered my copy.

    Re #2, “I couldn’t help but note the similarity of incels with TRAs”

    It seems pretty clear that there is overlap. Men (TiMs) who think women (e.g. lesbians) owe them sex (“cotton ceiling”).

    The sense of entitlement seems much the same. I think they both come from unrealistic expectations people are given of how they will be regarded and treated by others. I’ve no doubt that to some people, lack of affirmation really does seem like actual violence because that’s how they’ve been trained.

    The problem with spoiling children is that it’s self-reenforcing. If you don’t put a stop to it, it gets out of control. We now have a generation of adults whose only response to total capitulation is to ask for more.
