Ok so from the little stuff I could find. A femcel is just a woman who is upset at beauty standards and society because she can’t find a sexual partner? But not mad at men the way incels are angry at women. I’m concerned I could be a femcel and I don’t

a femcel is a woman who is involuntarily celibate and/or actively blames men for all or most her problems to the point of it becoming a large part of her personality. this usually extends to actively trying to inconvenience or harm men you do or don’t know for the sole reason that they’re men. it has a lot of overlap with misandry but the key difference is a femcel blames men for her inability to be seen as attractive, where a regular misandrist can get it but just blames men for everything else

Regardless of how you define it, I think the key to not becoming one is coping strategies and probably therapy. It’s understandable to be angry about it, but you need to express it in healthy and productive ways instead of stewing in the anger. That’s why (male) incels are so chronically online and in their own bubble

Think that fully suits me? Like I know I don’t fit Beaty standards, but I know that beauty doesn’t solve everything, even romantic/sexual relationships. I’m just concerned about the way I handle rejection. Both men and women reject me and I get super angry about it and I’m not sure if that’s normal or if I’m a peice of shit.

My friend said that I “hate like a man” and that’s what sparked this train of thought

Internalized misogyny is also a big part of being a femcel, which again you need to work through personally

Oh. I don’t think I’m that far gone. The definitions on Google were different. I do know that appearance factors into everything but it’s not the only factor in life. I know I’m unattractive but I know I have other things to offer
