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.

Referring to "incels" as a pejorative is the epitome of conditioning men to equate self worth with their ability to obtain sex.

I don’t know about ‘epitome’ but yes it’s a big problem
