Incel Ideology, Complementarian Theology, and Toxic Masculinity

October 28, 2018

Abstract: Using the April 23, 2018 misogyny-motivated van attack that occurred in Toronto as a starting point, this blog post examines the definition of toxic masculinity and compares the ways in which both incel culture and evangelical complementarian theology are rooted in this toxicity. The complementarian position contains many alarming parallels—particularly in their discourse around sex—to incel thinking.
