Women left traumatised by past experiences with men or who struggle to find partners are joining a disturbing online community of 'Femcels' - the female eqiuvalent of incels. but with hatred aimed towards men instead of women.
Journalist Ellie Flynn, from London, delved into the darkest corners of the internet to investigate the hidden world of women who call themselves 'Femcels' for a Channel 4 documentary Radicalised: Are Femcels The New Incels?
Incels, are typically white and heterosexual men, associated with misogyny, racism and self-pity, who consider themselves 'involuntarily celibate'.
The movement came to prominence in 2014, when 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured fourteen others at the University of California, Santa Barbara after becoming radicalised by the incel movement.
But Ellie's investigation into Femcels revealed a more complicated picture than simply 'women who hate men'.
One girl called Lauren spoke about how she's never got beyond kissing and believes she's 'very unattractive' and will be alone forever, while Ellie was left horrified by footage of women cutting and eating their own flesh in 'gore' videos.
