I’m writing this in light of this recent post shared on r/science (https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/s2w9o3/researchers_studying_incel_activity_on_social/ | archived link: https://archive.fo/4XprM) that blames “incels” on ‘male dominated sex ratios’ (a profoundly misandrist narrative in itself and one that just doesn’t add up when you see that even in places where women outnumber men, many men aren’t in relationships).
Notice that you can see this article was even shared and gloated about on the sub r/IncelTear which proclaims to be against redpill and blackpill ideas but has no problem with endorsing the idea (often propagated in redpill and blackpill spaces) that “incels” are a product of “male dominated sex ratios” (https://np.reddit.com/r/IncelTear/comments/s2y1x4/researchers_studying_incel_activity_on_social/ | archived link: https://archive.is/V9mVJ).
The study (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/09567976211036065?journalCode=pssa) itself looked at twitter posts from 2012 to 2018. Blackpilled incels are a recent phenomenon, so unless they were profiling true forced loneliness (TFL), they likely bunched in MRA type posts or just random venting by some men with no real ideological or political persuasion and classified them as “incel” for most of the timeframe of study, as blackpilled incels didn’t really exist until r/incels went up in 2016.
However the narrative the researchers (Robert C. Brooks, Daniel Russo-Batterham, and Khandis R. Blake) are trying to push, is that having too many single men without jobs is potentially extremely dangerous to societies. For some reason society feels threatened by the possibility that men can have a normally good and successful life without women included in it. Female independency is promoted and praised by society, while male independency isn’t even seen as a possibility, but is seen as a threat. See the obvious sexism and misandry here? Men’s lives have to be all about women, anything outside of that is perceived as a threat by the female supremacist establishment we live in and that rule over us. They don’t just talk about how single men or unemployed men are a threat if they are too numerous, they also talk about sex ratios and how too many ”excessive men” are the cause of all the world’s ills.
These people have so much in common with fascist rulers and war-mongers, as historically war has not been about winning battles or power, but it has all been about mass extermination of certain amounts of the male population. These wars don’t bring about male shortages for no reason. Evidence suggest that for the most part, wars are really just androcides. Incels and a lot of MGTOWs also dream about returning to this type of lifestyle as a societal course correction. Far right nutters like Black Pigeon Speaks have also ranted about the dangers of ”excessive men”, as have even feminist ideologues like Valery Hudson (archived:https://archive.is/9eAIa, https://archive.is/Swe3Y). Paradoxically, it’s right-wingers and manospherian-types who are the bigger fear-mongers of ”excessive single men”, as for the most part feminists are rather silent on it and a handful of feminists even oppose the idea, while the only feminists who voiced support for this are the so called ”anti-incels” and some TERFs who identify as ”pink pill” or ”black pill”. Feminists are largely silent about it and many in fact think the population composition is irrelevant, they are mostly just in favor of privileges for women only above men. It’s ironic how it’s far-right nutters, traditionalists, blackpillers, redpillers and manospherian-types who are the biggest proponents of this false narrative.
Unfortunately for them, evidence doesn’t back up their claims, and while statistics show that married men outlive single men, traditionalists openly manipulate and exploit these statistics (often by grouping together single men that never married with divorced men) to promote the false narrative that marriage will make you live longer, because correlation obviously means causation when it suits ideologues, so naturally they will also use this to fear monger about ”excessive single men”.
The problem is, if this is true, then there should be more wars than before,. Posters on the r/science thread are now even going as far as saying what caused WW2 was, ”large numbers of single unemployed men”. However, men are more likely now than ever before to be single, and marriage rates were in fact larger during long war periods (https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/8b7a61a7-6e8b-4a25-973c-4345e98b47d4/marriage-1.png) so wars should be more common and more violent now by their logic. Yet wars are if anything less prevalent today and they’re not more violent either. Violent crime should be skyrocketing to historic high levels yet that isn’t happening either despite the sharp decline in marriage, and murder was more common in the 1980s than it is today in the U.S. (https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/2048/cpsprodpb/113F3/production/_119034607_a59ec7ae-4a34-493b-90f1-062c9d268e86.png). Yet men were more likely to be married back then and less likely to be single, divorce was also less common, and men were also less likely to be jobless back then than they are today (https://econofact.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/LBFblackpowellSOCMEDIA.png). Yet still with all these factors and trends in the opposite direction, violent crime is less prevalent today than ever before (https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/191219/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990.jpg).
If single unemployed men are to blame for all the world’s ills, how come when marriage was more common as was fatherhood (total birth rate in the U.S.) (https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1033027/fertility-rate-us-1800-2020.jpg) and men having a job, violent crime rates including and specially murder were more common? They should be more common today now that fertility and marriages are at a record low, and that fewer men also have a job, and yet that’s not the case.
Not only that—not only do all the above groups fear-monger about ”excessive single men”, they seem to believe that violent crime is a biologically male trait. Violence seems to be a male thing to these people. Unfortunately contrary to these people’s ideas that men are becoming more violent, it’s actually women that are becoming more violent in countries with growing populations of single men, such as United States (https://static.prisonpolicy.org/images/arrest_by_sex_1980_2017.png) and the younger age groups and younger generations of women ARE THE MOST LIKEY TO GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW (https://www.rand.org/news/press/2019/02/25.html). Now they will tell you that men are overrepresented in prison because men commit more crimes (male percentage of U.S. prison population as of 2021 is well over 90%: https://www.statista.com/statistics/252828/number-of-prisoners-in-the-us-by-gender/). Sadly the overrepresentation of men has very little to do with the idea that men commit more crimes than women, and more to do with with the FACT that the criminal justice system privileges women at the expense of men, so women are less than 10% of the prison population but are 27% of criminal arrests, 41% traffic violation offenders, 37% of those getting stopped by the cops in the streets, and have 63% shorter criminal sentencing than men convicted of the same crimes (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2144002, https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1164&context=law_econ_current) …now something isn’t adding up here. Could this be due to female privilege at its finest at work here (https://static.prisonpolicy.org/images/women_arrests_contacts_2015.png)? Now considering that the most recent generations of females growing up are the most violent ones and the most likely to commit crimes as well, I guess it’s time to start seriously talking about ”excessive numbers of women”, right “blackpillers” and “anti-incels”? Thought not.
If highly masculinized sex ratios means too much violence, why do large urban areas, metro areas and inner cities who happen to have feminized sex ratios have much higher prevalence of violent crime than disperse rural areas, small urban areas and suburban areas that are known for highly masculinized sex ratios? How come Latin America and the Caribbean which are known to have among of the most feminized populations in the world, ARE ALSO THE MOST VIOLENT AREAS OF THE WORLD? How come India and China which are known for the supposedly high male-biased sex ratios, are far below the global average when it comes to violent crime? How come eastern Europe, the most feminized part of Europe, is also THE MOST VIOLENT PART OF EUROPE (https://vividmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/cropped-Homicide-Rates.jpg)? So in conclusion, the prevalence of violence has nothing to do with how supposedly lopsided the male to female sex ratios is. Single men (unemployed or not) in large numbers are NOT to blame for all the world’s ills nor are they a potential threat that needs to be dealt with and monitored. Traditionalists, redpillers, blackpillers, right-wingers and others that advance these arguments (such as inter-sectionalist, liberal and radical feminists) are just sadistic woman-worshipers who want to see other men mass murdered, for no good reasons than the following: their hatred of other men, their idea that men in a large group are a threat or deserve to be portrayed as such, and their idea that men without women are “subhuman” or delusional, and they’ll invent BS excuses to justify it, that’s all.
