What is incel?
Short for “involuntarily celibate,” an "incel" is a member of an online community of young men who consider themselves unable to attract women sexually and resultantly express hostility toward them. In Britain, there are calls for government action to tackle "incel" culture amid fears that many young men and adults are "being radicalized and pushed toward misogyny — and violent misogyny, in some cases.”
