    IDK what the cause of this is though;

    My bet is that it’s the Western idea of having sex being somehow tied to self-worth. In cultures where having sexual partners from a young age isn’t expected (or even accepted when you get into Muslim cultures) not having sex doesn’t fuck people up like that.

      Are you really looking at Muslim cultures and saying “yep, totally healthy sex education”? We’re talking about incels rising up, and you bring up an entire religion based around the same concepts?

        No, quite the opposite. Muslim-majority countries tend to have little to no sex education, and usually people only have sex after getting married (so early to mid-20s), yet people in these countries aren’t mentally fucked up like people in the West get when they can’t regularly have sex. Therefore, there’s something unique about the West that’s producing this fever-like reaction to not having sex. With that established, I’m making a guess as to what that is.
