This is not new. It's been covered in the forum before, but I'm just curious what today's incels think of it.
Incels are in a cognitive dissonance trap:
Incel: “Women are shallow, illogical, stupid, manipulative, and untrustworthy.”
Also incel: “But I also want to be loved, desired, and validated by women.”
Those two beliefs cannot sit comfortably together, because if women are worthless and stupid, then their approval should mean nothing. But if their approval actually matters, then they can’t be worthless.
It's like trusting a broken mirror to give a correct reflection. You view women as “broken mirrors” when rejected, but still run back to the same mirror because you desperately wish you were desired by them.
Why would you desire the assessments of a group of people that you think are lower than dirt? What does that say about you? How can you unironically call yourself 'blackpilled'?
“It’s not my fault, I have an unconscious attraction for women I can’t change, just like I can’t choose to be sexually attracted to them.”
This is conflating a biological urge with a psychological mindset. Sexual attraction is innate, but continued admiration is not. Your desire to be validated by women isn’t hardwired, it’s conditioning you’ve absorbed, and a conditioning that can be broken. You are choosing to keep it alive.
You can't control WHAT you desire, but you can control HOW you desire
Instead of admitting the contradiction, many incels oscillate between both poles depending on what emotional state they're currently in. When they feel rejected they devalue women to protect their ego. When they crave intimacy they re-inflate women’s value as the ultimate judges of their worth.
It’s like trying to quench your thirst with saltwater.
If you want logical consistency, you'll have to:
Either: Continue the misogyny but stop calling yourself 'subhuman' because you don't meet female standards, and stop wanting to feel desired by women because you believe they're illogical and shallow anyway.
Or: Admit women's assessments matter, their judgments and affections carry weight (which would mean abandoning/curbing the misogyny).
You've heard it before: the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
