Assuming incel is defined such that nearly all sexless men are incels, then [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|15-30% of American men between the ages of 18-30 are incels]], but around a third of this is 18-20 year olds. | |||
Contrary to perceptions in the media, incel is neither a political movement nor a [[incel community|community]], but a descriptive academic term for a gender-neutral life circumstance. Therefore, incels do not share a belief system, especially not those who do not self-identify as incels. | Contrary to perceptions in the media, incel is neither a political movement nor a [[incel community|community]], but a descriptive academic term for a gender-neutral life circumstance.
