'They’ve been taught this through television, film, and most other media: if they can’t obtain a girlfriend, then something is wrong with the system, not with them.'
For years, men on Internet message boards have been sharing revenge fantasies targeting the women who’ve rejected them. But what is motivating their repeated references to a violent “Beta Uprising,” and how dangerous are the guys who chat online about it?
The Internet-culture tracking website KnowYourMeme.com traces the earliest use of the term “beta uprising” to a 2011 post on a men’s rights blog called Fight For Justice. However, it has since picked up steam and become a popular phrase used on misogynist message boards like 4chan’s /r9k/ and Sluthate.com.
The “greentext” stories /r9k/ users post vary, but not by much—popular themes include depression, creeping out women, what they are masturbating to, and, of course, how easy things are for women, whom they hate and deeply resent for not sleeping with them.
George Sodini, who shot up an L.A. Fitness Center in Pennsylvania after spending months writing a blog about his “involuntary celibacy” and lack of success with women, is also admired and sympathized with on SlutHate, as is Cho Seung-Hui, who went on a shooting spree at Virginia Tech after being rejected by a woman.
To fully understand where these men are coming from, you have to understand their bizarrely skewed worldview. Incels believe that prior to the sexual revolution and feminism, women were “distributed” more evenly among men. Now, they claim, alpha males get multiple sexual partners throughout their lives, while betas end up with none.
The ego inflated lecturer smirked quite Jewishly and enthusiastically replied, ‘It feels rough. It hurts my hand just by holding it!’on your face yet?'" “Rape is wrong because it violates a girl’s chastity,” he writes. “If a woman is married to another man, it’s wrong to rape her because it taints her sexual bond with her husband. Similarly, raping a virgin girl taints her sexual bond with her future husband.
These studies may begin to explain why these men believe they are entitled to have access to women. By simply existing, they deem themselves worthy. And they perceive women as things to be had rather than as individual people with thoughts, feelings, and preferences of their own. They’ve been taught this through television, film, and most other media. If they can’t obtain a girlfriend, then something is wrong with the system, not with them.
