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 genetic factors and behavioral factors, perhaps being indicative of a general [[life history theory|fast-life history]] orientation in terms of evolutionary biology, whilst internet incels are often jaded via the indifferent or hostility displayed to them by women.

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 [[female subordination|constrain female sexuality]] in human history).
