One of the few moments in history wherein femcels outnumbered males experiencing inceldom was 1860s Paraguay, since up to 70% of the male population was killed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_War| War of the Triple Alliance]. Another historical case of androcide on this scale causing a lopsided gender ratio in favor of men is the fate of the Serbian male population during the First World War, with 18-28% of the pre-war population of males perishing during the conflict, also the massive amount of Soviet men that were killed during the Second World War (Great Patriotic War in Russia), which resulted in a huge imbalance in the gender ratio mainly for those born around the early 1920s. The Great War and the Second World War also caused less severe lopsided gender ratios (less women than men) in many of the other nations that participated in the conflict. | One of the few moments in history wherein femcels outnumbered males experiencing inceldom was 1860s Paraguay, since up to 70% of the male population was killed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_War| War of the Triple Alliance].

In 1915 in his book [[The Great Unmarried]], British Journalist [[Walter M. Gallichan]] described femcels as "involuntarily celibate women doomed to a lonely, loveless existence and the negation of the right to motherhood." He portrayed the issue as being largely caused by (in his time) urbanization leading to masses of rural men to migrate to the cities to seek new industrial jobs, and what he claimed was a growing number of men unwilling or unable to bear the cost of marriage. He even briefly floats the idea of legalizing polygamy to ameliorate what he viewed as the serious social problem of involuntarily celibate women. | In 1915 in his book [[The Great Unmarried]], British Journalist [[Walter M.
