    the concept of a female perspective meme about libertinage being an incel meme…

    the only angle i see in which it could be seen that way is if you think all women are puritanical prudes, which is misogynistic. ironic.

        nah, relegating a woman’s expression of libertinage, vanity, or playful detachment to the realm of “inceldom” is deeply puritanical. it suggests that women aren’t allowed to be chaotic, selfish, or purely driven by the ego-boost of the chase. it assumes women must only want wholesome, committed love & be passive, relationship-seeking partners

      Change your perspective and imagine the meme was made by a (male) incel and you’ll get what they were getting at.

        i’m imagining it. the content doesn’t change, so the meaning of the meme doesn’t change (fun without commitment). the only thing that could cause someone to label it as “incel” is, ironically, the reader’s own biases about women.

        my points still stand.
