Abstract
One of the most overlooked consequences of the overwhelming inclusion of women in academia and the labor market is the growing number of men who have been relegated to not finding a partner or becoming fathers. There are those who make this weakness an identity. Initially thought of as support groups for single men, Incels (or involuntary celibates) are groups of young men who meet in online forums, disdain romantic love, have cynical views of romance and have become the perfect enemy to embody the prejudices that characterize them as violent, antisocial, resentful. But how much of this is real? This article will describe what we know about them based on the latest research. What do those who are not chosen think? What do they think of women and of themselves? What is their personality like? What does their cynicism hide? Are they violent? An attempt will be made to give a general overview of a trend that is gaining more and more followers.
