A femcel is a woman who is experiencing involuntary celibacy. The term is a portmanteau of '''f'''emale involuntary '''cel'''ibate, which was necessarily created due to the exclusivity of ‘[[Incel]]’, commonly used for and by male incels. <div style="margin-top:-15px;">[[File:Idea of a femcel.webp|90px|Femcel Stereotype|thumb]] </div>
'''Femcel''', short for “female involuntary celibate”, is an unfortunate life circumstance. The term generally refers to a woman experiencing involuntary celibacy: the inability to obtain a romantic and/or sexual partner despite desiring one.  


<br> Femcels are generally seen as physically unattractive to [[Moid|men]], overall considered putrid, overly-opinionated, and often attention seeking. Femcels, unlike their male counterparts, are not simply starved of intimacy. They are actively erased from conversations, mocked, or accused of being volcel. Society frames femcels as loudmouthed complainers or obsessive, desperate women who are “choosing” celibacy by refusing to “lower their standards.” This narrative ignores the emotional, and psychological reasons behind their exclusion.

== Origins ==
 
In the early 2010s, the term ‘incel’ started to emerge in popularity after the publicization of the 2014 Isla Vista killings, the perpetrator portraying himself as an incel, therefore permanently tying the term to individuals that exhibit feelings of extreme misogyny and resent towards women. The need for a separate term was fairly necessary, it being allegedly created in 2018, however it only started to be largely recognized in 2021, as during this time, mainstream media began to notice a trend of 'femcels' vocalizing their thoughts online, and writing articles about these women.
