Double consciousness is the internal conflict experienced by subordinated or colonized groups in an oppressive society. The term and the idea were first published in W. E. B. Du Bois's autoethnographic work, The Souls of Black Folk in 1903, in which he described the African American experience of double consciousness, including his own.[1]
Originally, double consciousness was specifically the psychological challenge African Americans experienced of "always looking at one's self through the eyes" of a racist white society and "measuring oneself by the means of a nation that looked back in contempt".[1] The term also referred to Du Bois's experiences of reconciling his African heritage with an upbringing in a European-dominated society.[2]
This term has been broadened out to as usual LGBTQ which is jerry rigging anything with a struggle and muh oppression as their own.
However unironically I believe this term encapsulates the incel experience as a human, as the world sees and treats you differently than others wildly and in an almost uniformly negative way, using negative stereotyping and typecasting as is usual with racism. Also the measurement of the incel to that of their peers who look at them disdainfully is fully in line with the experience of incels.
