@Daojoan Basically the entire deal with incels--those who lack merit end up pulling rank within the gender-based dominance hierarchy. Just like poor southern whites being the most overt racists. Although it must be said that successful males and whites have their own less overtly personal ways of oppressing those on the lower rungs of their respective hierarchies. For successful males it might be a patriarchal marriage, while for successful whites it's the prison-industrial complex.

@LouThomas @Daojoan yes and I think the misogyny has been turned up because they are all having an extinction burst. The men who have been able to evolve over time are fine. They have emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills and they’re doing just fine. But the men who can’t evolve are having an extinction burst and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. They mostly default to violence that’s why it’s been so bad lately.

@maggiejk @Daojoan Yes, there was an extinction burst in response to #metoo, and before it could completely end we had Trump's election, which some took as positive reinforcement for misogynistic behavior, resulting in a long-suppressed howl of relieved affirmation. I'm getting reports from online friends who are women that the "your body, my choice" creeps are completely off the chain. So if the burst was a desperate attempt to see if misogyny could still reap rewards, that prayer appears to have been answered by Trump's election. And yes, violence is right there in their racist/nationalist/sexist toolkit.
