Reddit’s “Involuntary Celibates” think they have a solution for what ails our higher education system: Get rid of all the female students who’ve had more than one sexual partner.
In a post yesterday on the Incels subreddit, a Redditor calling himself failednormie lays out the logic behind this unique proposal for education reform.
Naturally, most of the denizens of the Incels subreddit seem rather enthusiastic about failednormie’s proposal.
Autistical, a big fan of pre-Revolutionary France, has his own thoughts on possible future employment possibilities for the expelled women.
Other Reddit incels would prefer that no women at all be allowed in universities with men.
Someone calling himself TheEngineer19 offers an even more radical solution that, while popular with his fellow Reddit incels, proved a bit much for the subreddit’s moderators, who have deleted it — though the original comment, with its 8 upvotes, is still visible in TheEngineer19’s comment history.
Gosh, why on earth would these guys have such trouble finding women to sleep with them?
Katz,

They’ll have to add a new section to the SATs. Reading/Writing, Math, Essay, and Notch Count.
There’s Hampden-Sydney, Morehouse, or any number of all-male religious colleges and universities in the U.S. where these dudes could study without the distractions of women brazenly having social lives.
I do love all the pearl-clutching over frat parties. Women can’t POSSIBLY have sex and be Rigorous Students all at the same time. Unlike these lofty-minded scholars, who spend their days frantically trying to undo the Enlightenment in one of the most proudly science-free cargo cult corners of the internet.
*GREAT RUDDY CRASHING NOISES*
I just spent nigh-on 24 hours stranded in an airport, waiting for a new connection.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, PEEPS.
(And as for where I went? Ireland.)
Also, re: the article
Speaking as a virgin, but also as an AFAB individual that’s started attending uni two years early:
What the fuck.
A woman is perfectly able to have sex without it tarnishing her academic performance. This is how things should be.
I’m a cis woman who’s slept with two guys. The second guy was how I confirmed I was actually asexual and that it wasn’t just that the first guy was bad at it despite trying to make it work for a month (to be fair, we were both virgins and I didn’t realize I had an infection for most of it).
Given that I likely won’t be having sex again am I allowed in the playhouse? Not that I’d want to go to university with a bunch of douchebags who take the imagined sex lives of women who don’t want to have sex with them as a personal insult, just wondering how that works.
Women should lose all rights and become sex slaves for incels?
The Engineer19 has summarized what other incels have been saying, for years now, in a more roundabout way.
The only points left to hammer out are how women get divided among incels and what to do with them once they’ve become unfuckable.
But really, discussion is unnecessary. Incels know that women will need to get divided evenly. And once women turn 25 (that is, once they become unfuckable), they need to die.
Next up on incels’ to-do list: implementation.
Incels, your guy is in the White House. Putting your plans into action should be eazy-peazy.
Troubelle! You’re back! Yay!
Amnesia! So are you! Woot!
@TROUBELLE
You’re back! yay!
@PeeVee + @Fran
Hey, welcoming party! Glad to see y’all missed me.
It was a good trip.
Hey, Troubelle, Amnesia, and Katz: Good to see all of you again!
Interesting article:

Okay, okay, okay, do these “incels” realize that in pre-Revolutionary France most of them would be peasants? And that they’d have trouble getting bread, much less brioche? And that if you’re going to have a food riot, you want to have it with a trust-worthy woman who knows how to use a kitchen implement to good effect at your side?
Anyway, didn’t Heloise ruin Abelard way before the revolution?
I don’t think any of these dudes actually *want* to have sex with women at this point. Because then they wouldn’t be able to be so angry about it, and their ladyhate is what fuels them. They don’t know how to do anything else, because their entire lives revolve around finding new things to hate women for. So they turn themselves into progressively more vile human beings so that there is *no way* a woman would want to touch them with a 39.5 foot pole, and then talk about how women are the worst and are too picky and only date Chads or alphas or whatever category of dudes it is that day.
Oh, fuck off, you totalitarian shithead…
That’s the kind of maid that says “Well, I could, but…” whenever you ask her to do something, right?
(yes, I’m mocking this person’s grasp of written expression – anyone who willingly composes and posts a ‘sentence’ like that has no say in who goes to university)
Also, on pre-revolutionary France, our indigenous Australians might actually agree on that being a pretty sweet time. Europeans had only just started arriving here, so they hadn’t had very long to fuck the place up.
ETA: @Nick, yes, what you said. Much pithier 😀
OT article about Kamala Harris, first-term California senator (D), who keeps getting shushed by the gentlemen of the Senate. This article questions whether her credentials are progressive enough for those who resist Trump. For myself, I was happy to vote for her as attorney general of San Francisco because she had a reputation for being tough on domestic violence.
Senator, Interrupted
Kamala Harris got shushed and became a liberal hero. Do progressives want to hear what she has to say?
The article includes a hilarious short video of her questioning little ol’ US attorney general Jeff Sessions, who plays the white-haired card when he says of one of her questions, “I’m not able to be rushed this fast. It makes me nervous.”
@Kat
On the one hand, there are absolutely people who have problems with screen addiction. On the other hand, something about the way that article is written makes me feel like it’s trying to demonize video games and gamers.
“A king? You want a king? Boy, nobody wants a king. Ignatius, are you sure you’re OK?”

@kupo
Beyond what I read on WHTM, I’m not that familiar with gamer culture, so I found the article informative. Dunno if the goal is to demonize gamers or games.
Video games, gamergate, “Make Water Gate Again!”
Sessions is the oft forgotten racist keebler elf that was never selected to be in the cookie/cracker commercials.
As for the ludicrous ‘idea’ from the stinky bog that is the incel subreddit to ban women who have had sex with more than one man from obtaining a college education…They don’t want to support women financially, and women are much better off being able to support themselves – this is best accomplished through attending university and getting a degree. If a bunch of whiny incels can’t concentrate because there are women existing around them, perhaps it’s THE INCELS who should leave college.
Oh “incels”, I have a better idea. Instead of denying women an education (and the opportunity to prove themselves infinitely better at — well, just about ANYTHING — than you), how about you just deny one to yourselves? I mean, it’s not as though your intellectual capacities are up to the tasks, anyway. If you’re so easily distracted by female classmates gossiping about their extracurricular activities, it’s obvious that it’s YOU who don’t belong in higher education. I suggest you go join a monastery instead.
@msexceptiontotherule
Yeah, clearly incels cannot handle college.
Buttercup: for the record, there is only one significant colllege in the US that is still all male — Wabash College in Indiana. St. Thomas University in Minnesota is all-male but has a closely allied women’s college (St. Benedict) 5 miles away. Hobart/William Smith are single-sex in name only. (Hampden-Sydney and Morehouse are coed.) There are a bit more than 40 all-women’s colleges. I guess the demand among most men for woman-free colleges isn’t very great.
Kat: Here’s a post I made at the Washington Post site:
What we witnessed yesterday is an example of a new paradigm that makes the white male establishment crap its pants. We saw a throughly mediocre white male (Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III) –who has climbed the ladder of politics because he comes from a proudly backward state that considers whiteness and maleness and family history the highest qualifications for high office — dissected and dismantled by a far more intelligent non-white woman who has climbed the ladder because society no longer keeps its feet quite so firmly on the necks of people like her. Privileges of race and sex and family no longer suffice to keep a white male bumbler from being publicly humiliated by someone like Kamala Harris. Quelle horreur!
Sessions would have been better off handling divorces, child support, DUI cases, and wills in a backwater Alabama town (there’s a limitless supply). Now he just might be so far out of his depth that he ends up putting himself in prison followed by a stint as Distinguished Fellow at a disreputable right-wing “think” tank.
@Grumpy
I have to agree. And you said it well.
