My thought is that this incel movement arises from the culture prevalent today of not allowing children to experience loss or failure. The whole participation trophy ideal. It has been responsible for the increase in entitlement mentality, which is having profound social effects. When a child never experiences loss or failure, parents think they are protecting the child from pain. Well that denial of short term pain is also denying the child the chance to develop coping mechanisms as well as problem solving and conflict resolution skills. They never learn how to handle denial, failure or loss.
Perseverance and grit are lost today. The whole "pick yourself up after getting knocked down" is replaced by "stay down and cry until someone else fixes it for you". And "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is replaced with "you should never have to feel this way". The result is things like people losing their shit on airplanes, people never really developing true friendships....they only stay friends as long as its convenient and do not solve conflicts that arise from disagreements...and the incel movement.
