All men are incels: the bitter truth

All Men Are Incels: The Bitter Truth

By Dr. Orion Taraban | Watch the full episode on YouTube

Let’s talk about something uncomfortable—but real: all men are incels. Provocative? Sure. But accurate. Let me explain why.

What is an Incel?

Incel = Involuntarily Celibate: A man who wants sex but can’t find a willing partner. Today, the term is mostly used as a slur—especially against men who disagree with women. Somehow, incel and misogynist have become interchangeable. That’s nonsense.

Every Man Has Been an Incel

No man is universally attractive. Not even celebrities, not even Greek gods. Rejection is a universal male experience. And when that happens—when desire is blocked without consent—you are, at that moment, involuntarily celibate. Even the most successful men strike out sometimes.

To put it bluntly: if there was ever a man who wasn’t an incel, it was probably Genghis Khan. And not because women loved him—but because he didn’t take no for an answer.

The Moral Fork in the Road

When a man is rejected, there are only two outcomes:

  1. He respects the no → He’s celibate, involuntarily.
  2. He forces the issue → She becomes involuntarily sexual.

We all agree the first is better. So why insult the man who takes the high road? Why mock restraint? Because that’s what incel-shaming really is: punishment for not violating others.

Respecting Consent is the Foundation of Civil Society

When a man chooses to accept rejection instead of imposing his will, he’s doing the right thing. He’s choosing law over force. That deserves some basic respect—not ridicule.

Mocking incels for “not getting any” is like mocking a poor man outside a luxury store for not being able to afford anything. Tasteless, counterproductive, and asking for trouble. Just ask Marie Antoinette.

Women Are Gatekeepers By Convention, Not Nature

Consent is upheld by social agreement, not biology. The average man is physically stronger than the average woman. So it’s civilization—not nature—that gives women the power to say no and have it matter.

This social contract—Hobbes’s Leviathan—is built on mutual respect and restraint. When a man abides by that, he’s playing his part in civil society. That matters.

Disrespecting Restraint Breeds Resentment

Insulting men for doing the right thing creates bitterness. It’s a recipe for alienation. We don’t need to put these men on pedestals—but mocking them for not violating others is peak stupidity.

Final Thoughts

So yes—all men are incels, some of the time. Even rich, powerful, attractive ones. The difference isn’t who gets rejected. It’s how men choose to respond. Respect the men who choose law, not force. That’s who keeps society from slipping into chaos.
