How the celibacy is "involuntary" when it's the result of a person's "high standards", we may never know. It's worth noting that "hypergamy" is an actual scientific term, used in sociology to classify relationships where the male member of the relationship is of higher status pertaining to a relevant variable, like formal education or income. Of course, even a cursory examination of studies using the term reveals that such relationships are not particularly common, let alone inevitable as maintained by MRAs.
Inceldom is the state of being "incelibate" or "incel", abbreviations of " in voluntarily cel ibate ", [4] which is someone usually male who claims their inceldom is caused by bad genes, society, females , feminists, bad boys , hypergamy , etc. While there are obviously many ordinary people who experience sexual rejection, most male incelospherians tend to be childless permavirgins who exhibit a bizarre defeatist and misogynistic worldview.
For example, some mancels claim that it's "cruel" for females to have sex with some males while rejecting others, or to dress attractively while not being sexually available to every guy who's interested. In contrast, femcels often exhibit a misandristic worldview. In the manosphere, there are a thousand different types of - cels [13] — but the majority [58] believes there's no such thing as a femcel , because shut up, that's why.
An incelospherian, neoincel or cybercel is someone who frequents the incelosphere, an umbrella term for the network of websites and forums that fosters an online subculture for incels. Javier is an archetype for the sort of exotic Chad with whom white female tourists have sex, and possibly start a relationship, while vacationing in the Caribbean, Europe, or other popular destinations. A male Japanese incelospherian. In the Japanese language, the term kakuhido is an acronym of "Revolutionary Alliance of Men that Women find Unattractive".
Kissless, hugless, handholdless, virgin. AKA the most incel of incels. Sometimes used interchangeably with truecel.
Kino escalation is a game technique in which a male follows up on verbal seduction by touching a female, without seeking her permission , followed by increasing the amount and intimacy of the touching. She won't notice it, honest! Last minute resistance is something that the chosen target of a pick-up artist says or does just before sex could occur, to indicate that no, she actually still doesn't want to have sex with him.
Various game theories and techniques are devoted to overcoming this kind of last minute resistance and achieving something approximating consent so that the pick-up artist can carry on in the direction he's going. The dreaded curse uttered by a witch when banishing a male to the friendzone. Looksism is the belief that a person's physical appearance is the primary determinant of their attractiveness as a mate.
The resultant number is often used as a noun, sometimes numerator only e. The looks ladder shows not only a willingness to objectify both males and females , but also a terrible lack of creativity.
The manosphere generally assumes their ratings of almost anyone to be objective truth. Love is a strange, mysterious, otherworldly concept that is completely alien to virtually everyone in the manosphere. The concept has been popularised by — and is most heavily associated with — Love-shy. Essentially, Loveshies are an even more self-pitying variation on incels with some added self-diagnosis and pseudopsychology. In the manosphere , male and female are often the preferred nomenclature for the sexes, as opposed to "man" and "woman", because the former terms better capture the sense that we're just animals driven by base instincts, and so demanding sex is purely natural.
A mancel or malecel is a male member of the incelosphere. Male heterosexuals constitute the majority of the incelosphere, but small minorities of gaycels and femcels also exist. A mangina is any pro-feminist male , or any male who is seen as collaborating with the perceived matriarchy. The term implies that the man has revoked their status as a " real man ". Manginas are also total betas , too. It is frequently used to attack any male who isn't stereotypically macho enough or doesn't share the MRA movement's hostility toward females. The manosphere is a nigh-endless prairie where dozens of strange, abbreviated creatures graze on the grass of masculinity.
Short for mar ried cel ibate, a marcel is somebody who is involuntarily celibate in marriage. A neologism referring to marriage in the age of no-fault divorce. The supposed sequence of events that leads to Marriage 2. For bonus points, said female will likely throw in a provably false accusation of domestic abuse or child molestation; most research shows that this is likely to backfire in real-world divorce or custody cases, to the point where many lawyers will tell a battered spouse to keep quiet in the interest of a faster or more equitable split.
A series of books and an accompanying website by self-described " relationship counselor " Athol Kay, for monogamous couples only, very popular in the manosphere. Considerably less nasty and bombastic than most "red pill" literature, its central thesis differs from the latter in that the optimum marriage partner is a mixture of both alpha and beta traits, and if you're a marcel , it's because you aren't hitting the right balance. Often used to put a false face on the community as a whole who doesn't want a happy relationship? As such, it is one of the prime vehicles for "converts" to the manosphere, and heavily responsible for the influx of the manosphere's female element.
You need a balance of both Alpha and Beta in a marriage to maximize her desire to have sex with you. The men's rights movement is a movement that pushes for the rights of males in Western society, which they perceive as discriminatory more against males than females. At the mostly benign end of the spectrum are equalist groups and individuals that have some valid points to make for example, on issues such as disparities in divorce outcomes and child custody, mental health stigmas, or enforced military service for males in some countries.
However, these groups often play host to males with disturbing views about feminism and females in general. The more prominent men's rights groups, including incel communities, MGTOW and "red pill" communities, are toxic dens of misogyny. Although it may sound like the title of a gay porn film, Men Going Their Own Way are actually a subset of MRAs who react to the feminazism and female supremacy they imagine to be going on in society by boycotting females altogether.
Unlike incels , their celibacy is voluntary, though some do not even necessarily abstain from sex or dating but merely "refuse to surrender their will to the social expectations of women and society" in their interactions. Misandry is hatred of males , which most MRAs purport is a characteristic of every feminist , especially feminazis , all females who don't succumb to clumsy attempts at seduction, and Western society at large.
They have a few small points in the differences in treatment, but they are still idiotic little babies who won't shut up about how it's "not fair", ultimately becoming like the SJW's and "feminazis" they purport to oppose. The misandry bubble theory, first proposed in an article by a blogger called "The Futurist" [65] , posits that the current state of feminism and misandry will reverse itself by According to the article, the "misandry bubble" will "pop" due to four factors: Even though a reversal of feminist advances is highly unlikely, and even though the majority of men don't particularly care about feminism or consider themselves oppressed, most denizens of the manosphere are unrealistically optimistic about the popping of the misandry bubble, reminiscent of many religious fundamentalists ' confidence that the second coming is actually going to happen.
Now little MRA's, simply wanting something to happen doesn't make it happen. Misogyny is hatred of women, which nobody in the manosphere has. If what someone in the manosphere says or does looks like misogyny , sounds like misogyny , and feels exactly like misogyny , then it's clearly not misogyny. A natural is a male who can engage in casual sex or satisfying relationships with females without adopting a shitload of misogynistic concepts and evo psych woo. In the manosphere, the term is used as a snarl word to invalidate these males ' experience, as it isn't "natural" for the majority of beta males.
People outside of the manosphere routinely refer to naturals as "functioning adults who possess a basic level of human decency towards the opposite sex". Short for near ly cel ibate, a nearcel is a person who is unable to satisfy their sexual urges often enough, making them one step above incels.
Negging is an ubiquitous " game " technique in which the pick-up artist entices his target by treating her like shit. Because that's what females want, right? While this may sound an awful lot like shit testing , it's completely different. In the manosphere, next is used as a verb awkwardly, although not as awkward as using "Shatner" as a verb , implying rejection in either a sexual or relationship sense. A nice guy is somebody who is not mean to females , contrasting with bad boys. The problem here is that the guy usually isn't as "nice" as he thinks he is, and this delusion can mask anything from token shows of chivalry in the hope of sexual favours to more overtly stalkerish and passive-aggressive behaviour toward females.
Even Isla Vista killer Elliot Rodger described himself as "the perfect guy" and "the supreme gentlemen," all the while referring to all females as "sluts," shortly before embarking on his violent rampage. A noncel is somebody who is not celibate ; i. Not all women are like that is a common and reasonable response to manospheric esp.
MGTOW claims that all women are evil male -hating bitches. Misogynists hear this so often they abbreviate it to NAWALT to dismiss any criticism of this kind, as if this refutes it. In fact, the counter-assertion that, yes, all women are like that has become a common manosphere buzzword in itself. Ironically, " not all men are like that " or "not all MRAs are like that" have become common defences within the MRA community when faced with severe criticism, especially in the aftermath of the misogyny -inspired Isla Vista massacre of May This in turn prompted the " YesAllWomen" social media hashtag used by females to share experiences of sexism and sexual victimisation.
An omega is a male who has no prospects whatsoever of getting laid. Omegas are below alphas , betas , and every other rung on the imaginary sexual hierarchy. According to these males , they are not "alphas" because they are not heavily muscled jocks, but they can nevertheless get sex from females through their game techniques; that is to say, their game supposedly transcends their alleged physical unattractiveness.
Of course, a more likely explanation of this phenomenon is that, contrary to manospheric beliefs , different females are attracted to different types of males. Omega rage is a purported state of mind reached by omegas in which their lack of sexual prospects leads to violent sexual, suicidal, or homicidal behavior. The most horrific example in recent memory would be the Isla Vista killings. Manospherians will often use this as a jumping-off point to advertise their ideology, going as far as to state " Game can save lives. Oneitis occurs when a male falls in love with a singular female, but said female does not love said male.
An orbiter is a male who has entered the friendzone but somehow continues to like his female friend despite the fact that they don't want sex. Paleomasculinism views male domination and female submission as part of the natural order of things, and is held by many red pill adherents. Males put females on the pedestal if they treat women as humans their betters. Males do this either to make it easier to gain sex or because they are a white knighting mangina.
Personalitism is the belief that a person's personality is the primary determinant of their attractiveness as a mate. A pick-up artist is a male whose lifestyle is devoted to seducing and having sex with many females, usually through various game strategies. Plate theory is the idea, promoted by PUA s , that males should date as many females as possible at the same time i. Purple pill refers to either 1 being aware of red pill philosophy but still holding out hope that blue pill -based solutions can work; or 2 the getting-together of red and blue pillers for debate.
Purple pillers are quite literally frowned upon in the manosphere for not slapping, spitting on and choking their dates at the end of the evening. A red pill is a person who is purported to have woken up to the fact that society discriminates against men, not women; to red pill is to do the same. The term is a reference to The Matrix [4] [78] in which taking the blue pill means remaining part of the sheeple and thinking nothing is wrong.
The concept of "red pilling" is also applied in other contexts where there is believed to be some important " truth " i. It has been co-opted by flat Earthers , particularly on Daily Plane. This term is also frequently used by proponents of "race realism" , who coincidentally wish for a more traditional way of life. In most cases, this requires thinking feminism and multiculturalism is the new status quo, and it's the Traditional Values which are subversive. That way, you can act like a bigot and still feel like you're speaking truth to power.
The earliest known usage of "red pill" for "right-wing enlightenment" is by neoreactionary "Mencius Moldbug" in April It is particularly hilarious that organised misogynists and reactionaries have wholeheartedly embraced a term from a movie, written and directed by two transgender women, in which a black male and a female convince a white male to fight subjugation. Red pill women is a term for female bloggers who generally agree with manosphere philosophy and link to manosphere sites, and an interesting snapshot of internalized misogyny and power politics.
Male manosphere types tend to alternate between holding them up as shining examples of someone who "gets it," or using them as proxy targets in their fight against women. For example, a prominent female blogger in the sphere will be heavily reposted to show the community doesn't hate women and in fact welcomes them, then castigated for "stealing the spotlight" from equally talented male bloggers.
Many tend to post either of their own volition, or from not wanting to be seen as "frigid" explicit sexual content, with a heavy emphasis on "domestic discipline" ; they are then accused of exploiting their sexual power over men for page hits. Seduction is a term used by pick-up artists , presumably in an attempt to make their sleazy activities sound sophisticated and, well, seductive. Successful PUAs have achieved the dictionary definition of seduction without any of the romantic connotations.
Sex is the supermassive black hole located at the center of the manosphere galaxy, around which virtually everything in the mind of an alpha male or incel revolves- and this analogy is fitting because virtually all males who call themselves alphas believe that females should not be allowed to escape, opt out of, or even resist it - because you know, a male getting sex whenever it pleases him is a human right, and a witch uttering the dreaded curse "No thanks, I just want to sleep tonight" oh, the humanity! The sexual marketplace is the market on which everyone flaunts their sexual goods.
If it sounds weird, that's because it is. Somebody's sexual market value refers to their sexual desirability. It is apparently the primary measure of an individual's worth. Just what it sounds like: Many manospherians predict an oncoming "sexbot revolution," which will pop the misandry bubble by ending involuntary celibacy and allowing men to go their own way , but these predictions fail to take into account the fact that most men have no need for sexbots, as they're not incels or raging misogynists.
Shit testing is the vile female practice of showing disrespect to a male to test whether he has any backbone by seeing how he reacts. This is of course completely different to negging. The term originated in the pick-up artist subculture. A male who frequently gets casual sex with attractive females.
Not to be confused with the thrash metal band. A social justice warrior is anyone who supports feminism, attacks racism, is generally not an asshole, etc.
In the manosphere, the term is always used pejoratively and attempts to end discussion through humiliation and otherization. This is despite the fact that, by their own standards, MRAs would qualify as social justice warriors. After all, they claim to be persecuted by society, and they use this claim of oppression to justify their own bigotry and categorical, sweeping dislike of a given group.
Really, if the genders were reversed, they'd be no different than those they despise.
In a nutshell, the socio-sexual hierarchy is "all that alpha-beta-omega stuff". Several bloggers have attempted to expand further, with the most ridiculous coming from Vox Day. This adds "gamma" and "delta" males that are essentially lower versions of "beta," "lambda" males homosexuals , and "sigma" males super-alpha white nationalist sci-fi hacks [85] Day's hierarchy hasn't gained a lot of traction in the manosphere, and has been lampooned by other bloggers. Soy as in the bean has become an all-encompassing snarl-word to indicate any perceived trait, characteristic or behavior not adequately manly and right-wing.
Stacy is the archetype of a high-value, hypergamous slut and the female counterpart of Chad. A target is a female whom a pick-up artist has set his sights on. Normal people instead call her a victim. This incelospherian community was founded in by an incelibate called William Greathouse with the Youtube channel bill A person is thirsty if they highly desire sex. When a female makes comments like "No", "I don't want to have sex", or "We're not going to have sex" that don't line up with supposed other behavior that indicates that really, she did want to have sex.
A unicorn is a perfect, loving, faithful girlfriend or wife usually attractive and non-"slutty" to boot. A volcel is a person who is vol untarily cel ibate. Females hit the Wall when they get really old, like 25 or so, [4] [97] suddenly become totally gross, have a precipitous drop in sexual market value , get flung off of the cock carousel , and have to either marry a boring beta or resign themselves to lonely spinsterdom. This is a thing that totally happens in reality. As a "fun" side note, in Japan , a female who has hit the Wall is known as a " Christmas cake", because supposedly no one wants it after the 25th.
Western women are those females who have been touched by the evil corruption of feminism and don't wish to have sex with males on demand. Western women primarily come from the Anglosphere and are contrasted with foreign women. A white knight is a male who defends a female in an argument. Desperately injured, sick, or miserable workers used the " black pill ," an overdose of opium, to commit suicide.
Adkins, The Dash of Dr. He says conditions got worse as time went along and at different times she threatened to give him a black pill , that he asked her what this meant and she said "that was the way women had of getting rid of husbands when they didn't want them any more. The day I got into med school my mother told me that if she were ever to find herself without her mental faculties that I should give her the " black pill. You've got a hollow tooth, I found it when I gagged you.
Bite it, take the black pill. It's easier than drowning. Howard, Life and death decision analysis , page Now that we have both the black pill and white pill results before us, we are in a position to make a few general observations. But to me both characters in the black pill example were immoral in Kant's sense: Albers, Societal Risk Assessment: How Safe is Safe Enough? As a useful thought experiment, we imagine an individual faced with what we call the black pill question.
He is offered the chance to take a pill that will kill him instantly and painlessly with a probability he assigns as p. If he takes the pill, he will receive x dollars. However, disquiet has been voiced recently about how "natural" certain forms of traditional Buddhist medicine are - notably the Tibetan " black pill " - some recipes for which specify rhinoceros horn and bear-bile among the ingredients Leland,
