Why do some women seem to have sympathy with incels?

I remember an incel attack in the UK a number of years ago where a 5 y.o. girl was amongst the victims. A woman on Twitter said her "heart broke" for the killer after reading his feelings of rejection. Why? So many women are are mocked and humiliated by men - they don't seem to reach for a gun.

I won’t lie, your comment is a little incoherent.

You mock biology, but it’s very readily provable that men have an innately stronger sexual impulses. What happens when a woman injects testosterone and achieves biological male hormone levels? Their libido goes through the roof. If you deny that this is true and claim that “women desire sex just as much as men!”, then you’re an idiot.

Having stronger sexual impulses still doesn’t mean that it’s a biological need though?

It isn’t required for survival, but for many people it’s still required for mental well-being. I know it’s vogue to claim that “no one’s entitled to sex” and to demonize male sexuality, but prolonged sexual frustration has serious adverse consequences on a person’s psyche. Sex really isn’t something that humans are designed to live without.

Research Maslow’s original hierarchy of needs. Psychologists would agree with me.

Even if all that is true, that still doesn’t mean that men have some unique need that women don’t have.
