When President James Garfield was gunned down at the Washington, DC, train station in 1882, his assassination came at the hand of a man who was arguably one of history’s first incels: Charles Guite…
Between 1800 and 1860, more than 70 utopian communes were established in the United States, but Wels calls the Oneida Community “the most successful . . . experiment in American history.” It prospered from the 1840s to the 1870s, home to hundreds of acres of fruit orchards and fields filled with Ayrshire cattle and Cotswold sheep.
The two entered a “group marriage” with another couple, and soon three of Noyes’ eight siblings joined the group. All agreed to submit to the leader, John Humphrey Noyes, in all things, including “carnal relations.” Part of Noyes’ philosophy was that the community’s older members should educate the younger on the ways of love. That meant post-menopausal women acted as sex tutors to pubescent young men, but also that Noyes and his older cronies could do the same with the teenage girls who lived on the farm.
Greeley supported many similar utopias over the years — most of which failed — but he didn’t share Oneida’s views on sex. He believed married couples should have intercourse only once a month and that masturbation was a scourge on society, claiming it could lead to insanity, bad breath and “running sores.”Charles Julius Guiteau
It’s no wonder Noyes would later described Guiteau as being “addicted to self-abuse,” a.k.a. masturbation.
