There was a wonderful rhetorical trick I heard recently regarding incels:
"Why are people against incels? Because everyone hates low status men."
Back to the article, there was no mention of society or historical and recent changes in society in this article. There was no attempt to put the writers feet in the same shoes as a hypothetical incel. It reminded me of the very common type of article on islamic terrorism which focuses on how terrorists get radicalised and how they are organised and ignores the basic geo global politics background which drives them. Perhaps it's intentional, but perhaps to attempt to understand and empathise with any terrorist could be seen as humanising them.
