In this interview, we discuss what incels are and what underlies their psychology. Lindner argues that due to evolution, women are the pickier sex and that males have a psychology that is more sensitive to rejection. As a result, males tend to respond more coercively, which in a few cases results in self-harm and other-directed harm.
