No, what he's saying is that "Incel" is a misandrist term for a male. And although he uses that term a lot to discredit people, he's definitely not a misandrist.

I'm no expert on the Incel movement but aren't they the ones that coined that term and use for themselves? - TS can clarify that one

Yes it was originally used in an article by a woman jokingly describing herself (because she couldn't find a partner) and then it was adopted and used by Redpill/blackpill basement boys on Reddit, before finding its way into the more mainstream. Obviously a lot of them won't unironically use the term "incel" about themselves any more because it's been discovered by "outsiders" and "used against them". Some of them do indeed still refer to themselves as "the incel community" though.

Even if that were the case, wouldn't using the term in a derogatory way to discredit someone be misandry?

Not if it's accurate?

OK, right.

Well PJ Watson is right that these slags are femoids? So why the counter arguments?

Again - they are amateur actors reading from scripts on a misogynist's podcast. Maybe your fella doesn't know that, but one suspects he doesn't care because that's not the point in his outrage clickbait.

You may be right, I don't deny that, but you don't honestly know for a fact that they're amateur actors. You don't know who they are do you, you are just guessing that that's what they are, arne't you?

I'd have even less hope for the world than I do already if I thought that all men (or even a large proportion of men) were incels, Alf .

I don't even think that all men who say incelly-stuff are ACTUAL incels, they're just wrapped up in that piller mindset.
