The title isn’t very representative of the article. The thesis is “we should resist the impulse to rank men, or to implicitly assign their worth in connection with having sex”.
I read the article and I do agree with the general sentiment. That being said any man with any ounce of self respect would stay the hell away from the incel term due to how its been co-opted by misogynists. Regardless of what their sexual history is.
I don’t like characterizing men who are virgins as incels automatically. It lumps them in with a very toxic group who have the ability to poison their minds and make them incredibly bitter and angry at a group of people who did nothing to them.
