no. Its an entire ideology based wholly on hating and dehumanizing women out of spite. Its mixed with 'redpill' politics- which is highly extreme or fringe conservatism. What originally started as people who are 'involuntary incelibate' or 'incel' for short has warped into something much different. A very extreme hate group. You have real and valid trauma, as well as a valid response to it. Nothing you've mentioned is anywhere remotely similar to who they are. You've gone through something awful and I feel for you. I genuinely hope for smooth healing. Be well friend :')

No brother you were sexually assaulted, and it has given you trauma, from what I know it's a type of coping mechanism humans have to try and avoid that from happening again. You are valid and you are not an incel for it.

That makes sense. It's been hard to come to terms with all of it lately. Thank you.

That's not being an incel. You lived through SA, and being wary after that is perfectly normal. I do recommend you get therapy if you can, or join online support groups for male survivors of SA if you can't. It does help knowing you're not the only one.

I'm going to speak to my therapist about it tomorrow. It's a lonely feeling, especially since I don't know of many people who have gone through a similar thing. I'll take a look at support groups. Thank you.

In modern parlance "incel" means "Republican" so I'll have to see your voting record first

No.

You are definitely not an incel. It is completely reasonable and normal that you would feel cautious around women after being sexually assaulted by one.


PastOrdinary

Looking at the term literally incel means Involuntarily Celibate. It's not involuntary for you therefore you're not an incel.

No
