[[Incel]] is an academic sociological term that is short for '''involuntary celibacy''', a common adverse life circumstance. Inceldom was recognized in academia, as a sociological phenomenon, in the landmark [[Donnelly Study]], published in 2001. Many further peer-reviewed academic papers have since been written, portraying involuntary celibacy as a (mostly) adverse life circumstance rather than a specific internet subculture. | [[Incel]] is an academic sociological term that is short for '''involuntary celibacy''', a common adverse life circumstance.

Academic researchers who have examined involuntary celibacy (though not all use that exact term) include: [[Denise Donnelly]], [[Elizabeth Burgess]], [[Laura Carpenter]], [[Theodor F Cohen]], and [[Menelaos Apostalou]]. The initial study explicitly dealing with the topic of involuntary celibacy, the Donnelly Study, defined incels as all adults who fail to find a sexual partner for six months, despite their desire for one. However, among [[Incelosphere#2010s.| self-identified incels]], there is often fervent disagreement about the exact definition. | Academic researchers who have examined involuntary celibacy (though not all use that exact term) include: [[Denise Donnelly]], [[Elizabeth Burgess]], [[Laura Carpenter]], [[Theodor F Cohen]], and [[Menelaos Apostalou]].
