'Incel': Reddit bans misogynist men's group blaming women for their celibacy

The 40,000-strong 'support group' was largely populated by men who appear to hate women and in some cases advocate rape

Reddit has banned a community dedicated to the "involuntarily celibate" that was largely populated by men who appear to hate women and in some cases advocate rape.

The 40,000-strong community was nominally a "support group" for people who lack romantic relationships and sex. "They are involuntarily celibate or 'incel'." However, popular posts from the last few months include ones titled "all women are sluts"; "proof that girls are nothing but trash that use men" and "reasons why women are the embodiment of evil".
