[[ | Femcels have likely existed throughout history, in fact, in Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, women's sexual starvation, e.g. in virgins or widows, was believed to trigger their [[hysteria]]. The assumption was that if a woman had no frequent sexual intercourse, the uterus would leave its anatomical position and move around the body causing hysterical behavior, sometimes called "the wicked womb".<ref>.Teive, H. A. G., Germiniani, F., Munhoz, R. P., & Paola, L. D. (2014). ''126 hysterical years-the contribution of Charcot.'' Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 72(8), 636-639.

Femcels have been literally described as "involuntary celibates" as early as the [[Antoine Banier|18th century]] by clergyman Antoine Banier. | |||
He wrote, "young women who groan under the Yoke of involuntary Celibacy, would find Husbands to make them happy, did not the Avarice of those husbands reduce them to the calamities wherein ixion was involved." He, by making reference to the Greek myth of Ixion<ref>http://www.shakmyth.org/myth/131/ixion</ref>, is claiming that the custom of the dowry (woman's family paying money to the groom)<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/dowry</ref> led to widespread femceldom during his era. | |||
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].
