There is some evidence that an increased rate of demotivated, sexless males causes trouble, however. For example, in African polygynous groups where unmarried men felt being treated more unequally and were readier to use violence in comparison to men belonging to monogamous groups. Strong pair-bonding between males and females is thought to be accompanied by a dramatic reduction in the male-to-male conflict over mating and an increased investment in offspring.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Monogamy_may_have_been_selected_by_cultural_evolution_because_of_its_benefits_for_society</ref> | |||
Taken together, the overall evidence suggests the causal link between inceldom and violence, to the extent it exists, is rather mediated by motivation and incentives set up by society, rather than radicalization. | |||
