Before there were “incels,” there were “losers,” “dorks,” and “nerds.” Semantics are forever shifting. But has anything underlying language truly changed? In fact, yes, things have changed, and not for the better. One significant shift is in the sheer number of men who are now largely deemed socially undesirable. Studies bear out the fact that, at a time period in which sexual liberation is ostensibly the reigning philosophy, young men are in fact having sex less often than ever before. In fact, it seems that around 30 percent of men in their twenties might essentially be “incel-ish” or “incel-lite,” given what appears their distinct dearth of prospects. Is this cultural shift, with its attendant dramatic and dire consequences, due to some sort of decline in handsomeness and suavity among men? No, not likely. Instead, it is attributable to something quite a transformation in attitudes, fostered largely in a top-down manner by influencers, opinion-shapers, and nefarious social conditioners of all stripes, possessed seemingly of a common desire to bring havoc, despair, and suffering to the lives of as many poor souls as possible.
