    Incel Movement Introduction The Incel, also known Involuntarily Celibate, Movement is a branch off of the Men’s Rights Movement. The Men’s Rights Movement was started simply because women had tried to get equal rights and then men had started to band together to oppose the movement because the men “are now the ones being oppressed”. The difference with the Incel Movement is that the men in this community or solely focused on the fact that women will not have sex with them.

    moment they were born. Therefore, when censored, teachers “are placed in the morally and intellectually untenable position of lying to their students about the nature and condition of mankind.” They are misinforming their students about the complexities of the world and leaving them ill-prepared for life beyond high school. To give a simple example, I was not aware of the fact that babies came from women and did not simply fall from the sky until I watched a particularly riveting episode…
