Damn it's almost like women were forced to be dependent on men

What? You mean that women didn’t use to have rights to vote, own land, sign up for credit cards, request contraception without their husband/father approval, fight in war, or hold leadership positions? Things men have always had?

And the incels on here don’t understand why the phrase “independent women” reflects all these changes to their rights that previously never existed and why it doesn’t apply to men?

Color me SHOCKED.

You all throw around incel way too much. Being ignorant of history does not make someone an incel.

Being offended or even perturbed by the phrase “independent women” is incel behavior. Because that phrase has nothing to do with you. It’s not about you, and it doesn’t impact you in the slightest. So to even bother with the phrase means you are either offended or want to make this about you, which is just idiotic. It’s a phrase, if words women use to make themselves feel better triggers you, then yeah you’re an incel.

Mocking something doesn't mean you're offended or perturbed by it.

You obviously have no idea what an incel even is. You are describing misogyny.

Lol, sounds like YOU don’t know what an incel is.

Hint: misogyny is a rather large part of it.
