Or they have borderline personality disorder and don't realise they're manipulating and hurting people :/

EDIT: So just to clarify since I think there's a disconnect between what I was saying and what people are hearing, I was talking about myself here. And I am a dude. People are complicated and our brains can go into a tailspin for lots of reasons. Like k8s only less complex and with less YAML.

It would be interesting to learn more about what type of people become incels

I do belive that most are 'just' normal humans who haven't gotten the proper feedback system in their lives which also implies that the incel crisis is not necessarily a mental health issue but a social issue.

It doesnt' make it easier of course if people with borderline personality disorder and others are also affected and potentially also take over those type of groups in a form or push them in particular directions.

probably both plus a bit of overrepresentation due to (social) media economics

yea, have met a lot of women meeting that definition
Do you assume the same of women who don’t have sex?
I assume that some women who don't have sex suffer from BPD, yes. I can't recall ever thinking that about someone on an individual basis.
Do you think there are also BPD women who do have sex and manipulate others and cause harm?

Do you think there is a difference between men and women in these situations?

Do you want to ask something in particular or is this just a long and annoying questionnaire? :)
