    What I don’t get about MAGA incels is that they seem to be deathly afraid of women. The whole bizarro stance about trad wives and submission seems to be a cultural ploy to make women less fearsome.

    What are they so afraid of? And why aren’t they more afraid that these ridiculous fears will make them look like pathetic losers?

      They’re afraid of the same thing all these right wing nuts are afraid of: someone else being in power.

      It turns out that when you base your entire political and economical landscape on abusing and suppressing the cultural “out” groups, becoming one of those groups is scary.

        Right, but they are the alpha macho men that are not afraid of anything. Don’t they realize how pathetic they look when they base their opinions on pure expressions of fear? Of fear, in particular, of what they consider “lesser?”

          They are men that project the image of not being afraid of anything. They are actually very scared of a lot of things. Lots of their shit is performative.

          Very few things in life are more fun than taking the wind out of the sails of dickheads like those.

      Women who recognize their own personhood are a threat to right-wingers. Can’t have visible examples of that sort of thing or the ones they’ve ensnared might notice and start having ideas.

      They feel sad, angry, lonely, powerless, love starved. In short they are alienated from society.

        Which is really sad, because they could get what they want and need, but they go about it the wrong way.
