It was part of a rampage that would claim the lives of six and injure fourteen others. The coming months and years would bring copycat attacks by others, who like Rodger, were frustrated by their inability to successfully form romantic relationships. They would call themselves “Incels”, shorthand for Involuntary Celibates. While their movement accepting and even celebrating violence toward women would remain mostly on the fringes, the Incel’s anger toward and dehumanizing of women has expanded, particularly this year. We’ll examine what’s come to be called “Toxic Masculinity” in this episode of Challenge 2.0.
