Uhhh whaaat? Using the world incel in the title of your article, or using the word at all, some weird ass pop culture CIA buzz word, means you're not a real journalist. Real journalist writers and readers already knew this though.

Incel is not a "weird ass pop culture CIA buzzword."

It is actually a term that was first coined by a blogger in 2013, and has since been appropriated by young men who ascribe to "red pill" ideology to (proudly) describe themselves as involuntary celibates.

I found that the Barbie movie actually gave an extremely sophisticated take on how this happens within the context of modern-day "feminism," the current impact it is having on the culture wars, and what to do about it.

I write this newsletter as my musings about popular culture and my current works in progress---while I am a journalist by trade, and my work is often journalistic in nature, these are my opinions and often personal experiences. I welcome a healthy debate around them, and you sharing yours.
