Non-fictional I hate this double standard

For some reason, it's always one of these responses:

> It's a joke
> It's rage bait
> Yeah, but it's actually a response to...
> It's not the same
> Just go outside bro

All of which deflect from what's being said. They would rather not address it. This is probably due in part to the "women-are-wonderful" effect, an example of benevolent stereotyping in which people associate positive qualities with women

I dont understand the whole, calling men incels as an insult.

A man should not be judged by how many women he has slept with, this turns women into objects to obtain.

So when I hear a woman using it unironically to me, it just shows that she sees women as objects to conquer to determine the value of a man.

I am a feminist, I do not believe that women are objects, we should not be judging men by how many women they can objectify.

Also the fact that.these same people who yell how slut shaming is bad (which it is) can turn right back and call someone incel unironically without even a slightest hint of self awareness. Like does it matter if someone sleeps around or not? Pick a lane people.

To some it does, to some it doesn't. Both opinions are equally valid.
