A little from our book Understanding and Treating Incels
What makes up an incel ideology? There are three core beliefs that contribute to the indoctrination and these are, misogyny, jealousy, and entitlement. Imagine these three ideas as the sides of a triangle. As a fire needs heat, oxygen, and fuel, the incel has a deeply objectified and reductionistic view of female worth, intense jealousy at being left behind by women who choose lesser men, and a certainty they are entitled to women and sexual fulfillment.
Entitlement
The core concept of entitlement reflects these intense feelings and beliefs on what the incel feels he deserves from women and society in general. He prioritizes his own needs and lack of satisfaction, disregarding the feelings, agency, or thoughts of others. This entitlement, left unchecked, fuels the aggression and violence targeted toward those who the incel sees as the obstacles to obtaining what is owed to him.
Misogny
The incel sees women on a continuum of sexual value and considers them as singular dimensional possessions valued only for their beauty. Incels reject a wider assessment of a woman’s worth as a personal agency, disregarding intelligence, personality, health, or achievements. Physical attractiveness, reducing desirability and beauty to those who are young, tall, blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian woman, is the ultimate desirable asset. Any diversity based on culture, sexual orientation, skin color, weight, height, age, or ethnicity are seen as less than desirable.
Jealousy
For the incel, jealousy is a frequent emotion. Their jealous is targeted at those women who reject them, or who they think would reject them if they approached. It is aimed at less attractive beta men who are in sexual relationships with more attractive women. It is aimed at the women who date
less attractive men. It is paradoxically targeted at a society that perpetuates the genetic superiority and physical attractiveness of Chads and Stacys. The jealousy and rage often have racial and bigoted overtones, as incels see nonwhites as genetically inferior than others.
