A dynamic I have noticed:
A woman puts "Dr" in her profile name.
The incel says oh, that doesn't mean you know more than me.
A woman celebrates her PhD.
The incel writes a big, long think piece about how it's not really that impressive.
A woman tweets out a well-composed, erudite thought.
The incel says oh, you aren't some innovative genius, lady. You're a midwit at best.
But in almost every case, nearly without exception, the woman has not said she is impressive, or smarter than anybody else, or an innovative genius.
She has simply existed in public.
It is not her but OTHER people who've said some version of these things about her.
To the incel, this praise from others, which he deems to be richly undeserved, is counted as a moral flaw in the woman herself.
In being considered praiseworthy by others, she has transgressed
It does not occur to the incel that one can't control that others find ones actions praiseworthy.
It does not occur to the incel that the only way for the woman to stop others from praising her is to completely remove herself from the public sphere.
On second thought, maybe it does occur to the incel, which is why he says what he says.
Because he wants her to shrink away and disappear.
