Incel: The Weaponization of Misogyny - Paperback

by Katherine Denkinson (Author)

With the rise of interest in dramas such as Netflix's Adolescence which aired in the UK in 2025, and a spate of crimes such as the Otley Run attack in April 2025 where the perpetrator posted online about his intentions, which were rooted in hatred and misogyny, this is a timely and much needed book.

The author explores the men behind the movement and the misinformation that surrounds them. Incels are not cartoonish villains, but real people. The internet has been their route to communication and connection, but it has also led to them becoming mythologized. Who are these men? What are their motivations? How has our misunderstanding of the movement made it even more dangerous and, most importantly, how do we change it?
