A '''femcel''' is woman claiming to be experiencing inceldom (involuntary celibacy) or [[volcel|volceldom]] (voluntary celibacy). The | A '''femcel''' is [[woman]] claiming to be experiencing [[inceldom]] ([[involuntary celibacy]]) or [[volcel|volceldom]] (voluntary celibacy). The male equialent of femcel is [[mancel]]. The culture, norms and hunches that permeate the femcel communities are referred to as [[femceldom]]. | ||
The most notable femcel in popular culture is probably [[Rogue]], a fictional character from the comic series ''X-men'', whose inceldom is caused by the fact that her physical touch produces an involuntary deadly high-voltage jolt, thus preventing affectionate [[relationship]]s with others. | |||
Those [[autism|hyperfocusing]] on looks decided that ''femcel'' is a "2" on the [[decile scale]], just below the [[femcelish]] woman; however, inceldom is not actually that much related to looks (see [[causes of inceldom]]). Nonetheless, she isn't at the bottom of the totem pole as femcels tend to [[mog]] (i.e. manage to one-up) the [[truefemcel]] woman in looks, [[social status]] and overall charm. Femcels are commonly seen as [[volcel]]s since they can easily get [[sex]], except in rare and unusual circumstances. | |||

* In a free mate choice setting, women nearly entirely decide about when a relationship starts and when sex occurs, i.e. they act as [[sexual selector]]. For example, McCabe (1987) found that among 25-year-old fresh couples, 28% of men but only 2% of women were "reluctant virgins" who wanted to have sex, but were held back by their partner's waiting.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#The_attractiveness_gap_in_a_couple_predicts_how_long_they_wait_before_engaging_in_sex</ref> Cohen and Shotland (1996) computed correlations between when people thought sex should start and when they actually began having sex.

* Men and women alike may be affected by various [[evolutionary mismatch]]es disturbing normal sexual functioning such as the absence of [[arranged marriage]].

Of course, with [[incelbian]] women it's a different story since some lesbocels tend to live in conservative deep-red states who can't find any other lesbians anywhere within their vicinity. If they do, these lesbians are usually in the closet, so out of reach. Of course, women can be sexless, but this is largely self-inflicted. Men have a [[libido|higher sex drive]] meaning there will always be men around willing to satisfy any woman sexually. | Of course, with [[incelbian]] women it's a different story since some lesbocels tend to live in conservative deep-red states who can't find any other lesbians anywhere within their vicinity.

Femcels, even though rarer than male [[incel]]s, have existed throughout history, in fact, in Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, women's sexual starvation, e.g. in virgins or widows, was believed to trigger their [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#90.25_of_victims_of_workplace_mass_hysteria_are_women|hysteria]].

The only relatively large board that remains is [[r/trufemcels]] which is mostly populated by [[astroturfing]] male [[incel|incels]]. But as always, with enough [[astroturfing]] it will probably eventually be made up of real women. | ||
