Many incels feel unease around men because they cannot demonstrate any heterosexual experience or ability to impress women and outcompete other men whatsoever, so they fear the male intrasexual competition of being accused of gayness. As a result incels often very vocally express their anti-gay views to avoid being seen gay. | Many incels feel unease around men because they cannot demonstrate any heterosexual experience or ability to impress women and outcompete other men whatsoever, so they fear the male intrasexual competition of being accused of gayness.

=== "Latent" homophobia === | |||
A common feminist claim is that male homophobes often have repressed homosexual impulses, which seems to have been indicated by phallometry.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_homosexuality#Links_to_homophobia</ref> The reason homophobes need to signal this is rather because they lack social and sexual status otherwise that would allow them to act out their homosocial impulses without risking being vulnerable to male intrasexually competitive gossip, also a result of living in a highly competitive environment or one that is heavily concerned about shame and honor. The feminist insinuation is mislead by the notion that androphily would primarily be a separate sexual identity, when in truth it is primarily an accessory that is conductive to male [[reproductive success]] in heterosexual males. | |||
