Today, incel forums are populated almost entirely by men, and discussions of extreme violence against women are commonplace.
As HuffPost recently
uncovered, an incel who is also a white supremacist and a self-proclaimed pedophile is running for Congress. On various incel websites, including one he created, he argues that women and girls should be "rape-slaves" for men who can't find willing sexual partners. Such sentiments, though extreme, are not uncommon on incel pages.
Women "shouldn't have rights," a man on Incels.me wrote in April. He would like to hit a woman's face with a glass bottle "until it breaks, then pick up a glass shard and stab her in the vagina until it's unrecognizable or her guts spew out," he said. Another member, who says he is 18 years old, described his desire to choke an attractive woman to death. Yet another said he wanted to "brutalize a girl, break her legs, then sacrifice her in the forest."
