As discussed in the [[Rape#Are_incels_rapists.3F|rape]] article and the [[Scientific_Blackpill#tocPersonality|Scientific Blackpill]], murderers and violent men typically have ''more'' (not less) sexual access to women.<ref>Groth AN, Birnbaum HJ. 1979.

Research shows that it is a myth that sexual frustration and longing for sexual intimacy is the main driver behind rape. Instead, rape is predominantly driven by anger and power, which are character attributes which [[NEET|losers]], [[social isolation|loners]], [[nice guy|shy guys]] and [[creep]]s typically lack. | Research shows that it is a myth that sexual frustration and longing for sexual intimacy is the main driver behind rape.

Rapists do tend to have negative views of women, endorse rape myths, and identify with a hypermasculine role,<ref>Robertiello, G., & Terry, K. J. (2007). Can we profile sex offenders?

However, in rapists, these views are likely rather caused by a genetic [[life history|fast life history disposition]], while internet incels are simply [[redpill]]ed. | ||
Research also shows that it is a widespread myth that exposure to "radical" ideas would increase violence (if misogyny can be considered radical at all given the very high prevalence of means to constrain female sexuality in human history).

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> | There is some evidence that an increased rate of demotivated, sexless males causes trouble, however.
