New Zealand's intelligence agency has investigated the threat involuntary celibate men, or "incels" pose
in Aotearoa, including the likelihood of them committing violent extremism.
The group are known as incels and are largely heterosexual men fixated on their lack of sexual and romantic
success with women.
The misogynistic belief system rose to prominence in recent years following several vicious attacks that left dozens
dead in North America.
Victoria University of Wellington PhD candidate Angus Lindsay said incels feel marginalised for failing to live up to
dominant ideas of masculinity and because they are socially and sexually alienated.
"The findings of my own and other recent research suggest that incel-related violence does not only constitute the
extraordinary 'lone-wolf' violence that is often associated with the group."
More often, he said, incels lash out at women and other incels through online cyber-bullying or by harming themselves.
"This type of extremist behaviour is not only confined to online spaces but is exacerbated by digital technologies. Incels
are but one component of a much broader male supremacist movement."
A shared state of "inceldom" is the "central unifying narrative" that unites individual incels and forms an important aspect
of the collective Incel identity
