I have so many friends who would 100% be labeled as an incel if they were men. They hold men to impossibly high standards while meeting none of those standards themselves.
For example, women living with parents while expecting men to have their own place, women who are obese but are only interested in fit men, working part time while expecting a man who has a career, refusing to drive and expecting men to chauffeur them around, expecting men to have a variety of friends and interests while doing nothing but watching TV all day, etc.
The worst part is, calling out this inequality will 100% get any man labeled as an incel. We’re expected to either deal with it or be alone forever.
This is NOT to undermine the very real issues women have to deal with, for example the loss of bodily autonomy in the US. But this is still an issue worth discussing and nobody is talking about it.

I’ve seen actual femcel communities on Reddit and they certainly don’t keep quietly to themselves. But whether there are more of them or if they are equally violent… No idea. Don’t really want to compare or know more to be honest.

Okay, but there’s ‘not keeping quietly to thenselves’ and then there’s the litany of literal crimes that male incels are known for.
I don’t know anyone who has raped or murdered, men or women. Do you have a source for your claim?

So a dozen incidents? Not exactly the constant attacks you claimed exist
A dozen high profile incidents. Mass shootings and the like. There are many, many more that outright go unreported, often because they don’t look that different from standard DV cases, of which there are simply too many to put in the news.
I’m not defending the monsters that commit these acts. But again you’re making claims about the motivation for these crimes without a source.

So a dozen attacks? Not really the mass scale violence you claimed is it? Seriously, try harder.

If by “moving the goalposts” you mean holding you to your original claim then sure I guess
