The vast majority of incels do not support rape with very [[Caamib|few exceptions]]. Many, however, assume that involuntary celibacy is more painful for men than rape is for women. Deprivation is much more agonizing than discomfort that passes. This does not excuse rapists, but it is something women don't understand. | The vast majority of incels do not support rape with very [[Caamib|few exceptions]].

Several lines of research seem to disprove the notion that sexually unsuccessful men are more likely to be driven to rape out of desperation: Lalumière et al. (1996) conducted a study that found that sexually coercive men were more sexually successful, and had a higher self-perceived mate value.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0162309596000763</ref> Another study on male college students (N =795) found that men who confessed to having previously raped or engaged in acts of sexual coercion also typically reported having more sexual partners than control men. While some of these rapists were recidivists, so their acts of rape would have served to also inflate their self-reported partner count, "number of sex partners" was found to be a significant predictor of likelihood of having previously carried out acts of sexual violence.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24567167</ref> | |||
Given that the majority of rapes of women (at least in the United States) are reported to be committed by acquaintances of the victims rather than strangers,<ref>https://www.rainn.org/statistics/perpetrators-sexual-violence</ref> and incels frequently report being shunned even from platonic relations with women, one could speculate that the inordinate fear some feminists have of incels committing acts of sexual violence is not caused by their fear of the act itself, but their primordial terror of being impregnated by what they see as 'inferior' men. | Given that the majority of rapes of women (at least in the United States) are reported to be committed by acquaintances of the victims rather than strangers,<ref>https://www.rainn.org/statistics/perpetrators-sexual-violence</ref> and incels frequently report being shunned even from platonic relations with women, one could speculate that the inordinate fear some feminists have of incels committing acts of sexual violence is not caused by their fear of the act itself, but their primordial terror of being impregnated by what they see as 'inferior' men. | ||
