There's a history behind it... but they aren't just helpless people in the path of forces that they can't resist. They still have agency. They may have been dealt a lousy hand, but they're still responsible for how they respond to it.
Note well: I am not denying that "there's a history behind it". I am not denying that they were dealt a bad hand. What I am saying is that your post goes too far the other way. It denies incels their agency. They are still responsible what they choose to do with the hand they were dealt.
One can sympathize with them for the bad hand they were dealt, and still not give them a free pass for misogyny.
