[[Incel]], is an [[Donnelly Study#Incel is Now a Valid Academic Sociological Term|academic sociological term]] that is short for and means, ''''involuntary celibacy'''', a life circumstance.  Specifically, it is the life circumstance of, "single without choosing to be so".  And so it is '''not''' a community, subculture, organized group, movement, or a philosophy.  Individual philosophies like the [[blackpill]] or subcultures like [[4chan]] culture emerge on some, but not all, forums dedicated to involuntary celibates and go in and out of fashion.  [[Inceldom]] was first academically recognized as a sociological phenomenon by the [[Donnelly Study]].  The [[Donnelly Study]] defined incels as all adults who want to have a willing sexual partner of the gender that they are attracted to, but cannot find one for six months or more. This definition, however, has too many holes, and for the purposes of this wiki an incel is either someone who would be rejected by the vast majority of the single members of the gender/s they are attracted to if they tried or someone who is not normally asexual but whose mental/medical conditions prevent them from approaching people, resulting in celibacy for a period of years. [[Ton den Boon|The first lexicographer to define "incel"]], defined it as a gender-neutral life cirumstance rather than a subculture. Its unabbreviated form was coined in 1739 by [[Antoine Banier]] in his book on ancient Greek mythology.  Inceldom overlaps but is distinct from '[[sexual frustration]]', in that an involuntary celibate may simply accept their [[inceldom]] and not feel bad about it. 

The current non-niche incel internet forums are: [[Incels.is]], [[Braincels|Reddit's Braincels]], [[Incelistan]], [[Love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]]. Roughly [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|between 6-14% of millenial men]] fall under the [[inceldom spectrum]] in America. Inceldom affects [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|10% of men and 5% of women]] in Germany; hence a total of 7.5%.
