minus-square@KombatWombat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•5 months agoStrictly speaking, incel refers to someone involuntarily celibate, regardless of gender. Femcel is the common 4chan term for female incels. It’s been used to describe the often misandrist subculture of r/FemaleDatingStrategy as an example.

At some point i think they just accept the label and stop trying to improve while pointing to the convenient answers.
