EP. 226 — Explaining Incel Culture with Natalie Wynn
This week, Jameela is re-releasing an important discussion from the I Weigh archive with political commentator & YouTuber Natalie Wynn, also known as ContraPoints, about incel culture. They talk through the origins, why it is so toxic, and the societal issues that encourage incel ideology, along with the body issues which plague its community. Natalie discusses the other internet communities with similar toxicity, the issues with how we teach sexuality as a society, the role parents play in raising children that are impervious to the twisted teachings of incel culture, and more.
