Because they are not trying. I suppose they are expecting women to be falling all over them.

Somewhat off-topic I suppose, I'm English man, but I went to university in Scotland (Edinburgh). I found it really easy to get into friendships with Scottish girls, just by virtue of not being a Scottish man, almost all of whom back then (erly 1970s) were incel prototypes, who couldn't work out why they weren't getting anywhere with the female population. Guys, it only takes a little effort - but I think things have improved

This is the usual slur, to wrap up all men who fail at the mating game in some group, just because they can't get laid, and declaring them evil because of the violence of a few. It's a lot like the same being done on the right to transwomen due to violence by a few.

Empathy is inherently tribal.

I didn't mention "evil" or violence.

> Empathy is inherently tribal.

I have no idea what that means, and I suspect neither do you.

Incel doesn't usually pertain to every virgin male out there. It's typically with a connotation for a certain type of male. Usually the more narcissistic sort that blame their own failings on women and take it out misogynistically.
