If you believe "male loneliness epidemic" is real, you agree with incel ideology

If you believe "women are choosing better nowadays", you agree with incel ideology

Incelwiki "graph" on an article about "Hypergamy"

STOP REPEATING INCEL LIES

The myth stems from misinterpretation of GSS 2018 data measuring sexual activity.

Any reliable data that measures loneliness will show greater correlation with age compared to sex.

Men do have worse friendship quality.... with fellow men.

@evidence-based-activism made a post debunking male loneliness epidemic as well. Please give her post a read!

Now i cant even take this post seriously.

Did you want to be informative or sexist?

Edit on this:

Strangulation and choking, especially during sexual activities like erotic asphyxiation, can significantly increase the risk of strokes. This happens through mechanisms such as restricted blood flow in the carotid artery and jugular veins, which supply oxygen to the brain, leading to ischemia (oxygen deprivation) and potential cerebral infarction (stroke). Elevated blood pressure during strangulation can also strain blood vessels, causing aneurysm rupture or clot formation, further increasing stroke risk. Even brief asphyxia can cause severe brain damage, cardiac arrest, or death.

There are no "safe" levels of strangulation, as even mild compression can lead to serious complications like stroke, brain damage, and vascular injury.

And highlighting that strangulation harms women isn't sexist, on the contrary, it's feminist in nature, furthermore, it's a fact. Strangulation is a dangerous form of abuse used to control women, and is always the sign to future violence.

Edit on this:

Cutting off blood supply to the brain over for short periods of time causes functional decline which can result in the person not being able to communicate if something feels wrong or if they want to stop (not being able to withdrawn consent). Damage can lead to blood clots, which can lead to stroke; research also suggests that strangulation is the cause of an increase number of strokes in young women. Repeated short episodes of this can also lead to brain injury which might not manifest until weeks/months later.

If thats true then i'll ask her to stop.

But i cant take you seriously when your being sexist. Thanks for informing me on the risks of strangulation but its not just men who strangle as a kink. My relationship is literal proof to it.

Health Issues result from Strangulation, US Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention. This one goes into more depth about the physical impact in Layman's terms, so I'll put that here:

Even minimal force may cause bleeding and/or swelling inside the neck. The great risk is that both bleeding and swelling can progress (often slowly) and not cause obvious problems until the airway is blocked or a vascular disaster occurs. Anywhere from 5.5 to 22 pounds of pressure can damage the carotid arteries which compromises blood flow to the brain. Delayed findings may include bleeding and damage to the inside of the artery.

As the body tries to heal, blood clots may form inside the artery and block blood flow or break off and travel to the brain, resulting in clinical findings similar to those of a stroke. Only 4.4 pounds of pressure on the jugular veins may cause a back up of oxygen-deficient blood in the brain, resulting in the rupture of internal blood vessels.

Compression of the carotid body, a neurologic structure located in the back of the neck, can result in the slowing of the pulse and progress to cardiac arrest. Strangulation may cause fluid overload in the lungs, (pulmonary edema), up to two weeks after.
