After the Toronto van attack, Tomassi wrote a long article about incels<ref>https://therationalmale.com/2018/06/04/incels/</ref>. He argued that incels are often used as ideological whipping-boys by many on the left and right in politics, describing incels as "lost boys" who typically weren't prepared to learn of harsh "redpilled" truths. | After the Toronto van attack, Tomassi wrote a long article about incels<ref>https://therationalmale.com/2018/06/04/incels/</ref>.

He criticized the media coverage of the Toronto incident, saying that is not the manosphere that is chiefly responsible for incels growing self-awareness regarding their plight, but the social escalation of women's "open hypergamy", as exemplified by online-dating apps such as Tinder.

<blockquote>The truth of the matter is Incels have always been with us. They were the losers, the nerds (before they were told they were cool) and the guys who were Darwin’s dead ends. I knew dozens of them when I was growing up. I know many now, all of them building a life-theme around their life long confusion and misery of not figuring out women. I know a lot of married men today who are technically [[marcel|Incels in their marriages]]. We like to say they’re ‘unlucky’ in love or we’ll say “Don’t worry, you’re a great guy. Any girl would be lucky to have you. You’re just meeting the wrong kind of girls, just be yourself and it’ll happen for you.” Then we hope they don’t fixate on one of our girlfriend’s girlfriends and they go off to figure out how the real world works.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The truth of the matter is Incels have always been with us.

He blamed the incel problem on [[gynocentrism]] and a shift towards serial polyandry (or polygyny in other words). He said that incels view of the sexual marketplace (i.e. the [[blackpill]], in his view) was correct, but he expressed disagreement as to the more prescriptive aspects of the blackpill. | He blamed the incel problem on [[gynocentrism]] and a shift towards serial polyandry (or polygyny in other words).
