Intel on InCels (Misogyny Pt. 2) – Ep. 45

Involuntarily celibate. It could be fodder for a standup comedian, but these days, self-proclaimed “InCels” and the InCel Movement are no joke – even landing on Secret Service threat lists. Join co-hosts Julie and Charity back in The Escape Pod to wrap up a two-part series on extreme misogyny and an online community that poses a clear and present danger to the women they hate. 

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains violence and other content listeners might find extremely disturbing.
