In 2014, a young man named named Elliot Rodger went on a killing spree as revenge for the beautiful women who had denied him the sex he believed he was entitled to. In February of 2020, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh was presented with one of the highest national honors, a man who has never shied away from his theories about the oppressive forces of \u201cFeminazis.\u201d There are growing subcultures of men who subscribe to the idea that is is American men, not women, who are the true victims of oppression, while at the same time, condoning and even committing violence against women. But we\u2019ll look at the far more gentle roots of both the Involuntary Celibacy culture and Men\u2019s Rights Movement, and how they were once spaces of support and solidarity.
