The Modern “FEMCEL”: Who She Really Is and What She Desires

The term “incel” was first coined by a woman in 1997 – the original Involuntary Celibacy Project website was a forum for people of all genders and sexualities to share their struggles with sexual and romantic relationships. After the term “incel” was hijacked by men who promote misogyny and blame women and feminism for their struggles, a new term emerged: femcel. But what makes a femcel unique and different from the stereotypical male incel? And onscreen, how do we represent the angst and frustration of involuntarily celibate women in our culture?
