You have to give Reddit’s lady haters credit for one thing: they are endlessly creative in coming up with new excuses to hate the ladies. The latest? Women laughing amongst themselves.
Take it away, incel dude on The_Graypill subreddit.
Hoo boy.
Dudes, sometimes people get together with friends, and one of them says something funny, and the others laugh.

Incels seem like the least self-aware people ever.
It’s as if they cannot see the rest of the world as actually existing independently.
Gray pill, huh? I bet this subreddit is just the same shit with a new name.
Umm…I think you’ve confused women with parrots. Parrots (in my limited experience) are always imitating random sounds around them and ruffling their feathers.
I think I know why incels don’t get this. They’re incapable of understanding humor, so they don’t get why people would be laughing.
Groups of men are just as loud, if not louder. Mixed gender groups are also loud. That’s just kind of how people work.
I think my communications professor in college told us about some research that said groups of women and groups of people of color of all genders are perceived as louder and called louder as a way of marginalizing them. Like if they are “loud” that means their disruptive and it’s ok to tell them to shut up and not have a voice.
I’m still here hanging out with my gorgeous friend and we are going to be two laughing women on purpose. 🙂
It’s remarkable how they ALL flip their hair, even the ones with short hair.
@WWTH
As someone on the autism spectrum, I am very sensitive to loud noises when I don’t expect them, so I’m very observant of people’s volumes. In my experience men are almost always louder, especially so in groups. Not sure if this is biological, social, or both, but there are few kinds of groups louder than a bunch of drunk guys shouting at each other in a sports bar.
@StaceySmartyPantsTwiceRemoved
I’ve heard the same thing. I’ve also heard that women are perceived as talking more when they tend to talk less than men (often due to being deliberately silenced).
@Moggie
And what about women who shave their heads? Or wear headscarves?
Does that part make anyone else think of the song “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction?
@Naglfar
I believe that. And we’re “loud” or “talking more” even when we are talking to a man but he’s not the particular man that some *other* man thinks is the one we should be talking to. That’s what makes me mad.
The old “women talk more and are louder” chestnut just will not die, despite being repeatedly debunked. And as an aside, I’m so glad the comms course I teach in got rid of the unit on gender differences in communication. Most of the research in that area is evo-psych rubbish (now if I can just get them to veer away from the “extroversion is better” stuff…)
Now, can someone explain me this:
I’m probably missing a reference here, but what’s the pun?
@Mish
Did what I thought I was remembering from my class sound right to you? I don’t have the textbook from that class anymore and I think it wasn’t an article we read but something the professor told us so maybe I’m mixing it up.
I think they’re the villains from Code Name: Kids Next Door.
@moon custafer
Yeah. Still doesn’t make since. Two of those children were boys and they were suppose to ve this creepy version of the perfect children. So the sons were this weird version of what the perfect sons were suppose to be. I’m pretty sure the one that was always in the football helmet was the chad one.
It’s not so much a pun as it is a refrences and its a references that doesn’t make since so this guy is just dumb
What’s the grey pill now??
But incels really don’t live in reality do they? Flipping their hair and laughing sounds so cheesy. Like they’re all watching a 90s highs chool movie, noticing the stereotypical mean girls clique and they all take the movie as a documentary for today. Wow.
Not to make light of someone on the spectrum, but this quote,” I am very sensitive to loud noises when I don’t expect them”, applies to everybody.
@Kent Reniche
Please don’t.
So very unlike incels, who certainly don’t all use the same lingo or think in the same sloppy, unexamined, self-pitying, hateful way or call each other derogatory names or advise each other to commit mass murder or suicide.
@Nagflar : can very easily be cultural. My personal experience is that it vary more by nationality (oh GOD the americans !) than by gender.
Inebriation is also, of course, a big factor too. (and drunk women are *plenty* loud, and also rarer since women are trained since childhood to never lose control or horrible things will happen. Why don’t we do that to everyone ?)
Also, as other said, thoses “grey pills” seem to think that everything revolve around them. That’s not an healthy way of thinking …
@Mish:
My own suspicion is that the perceived pun in “The Delightful Children From Down The Lane” may hinge upon the word “down”–it’s a circuitous way of calling the women’s behavior (insert ableist r-word).
@Kent Reniche
Maybe it does, but it’s a common characteristic of spectrum individuals that we don’t like loud noises that are unexpected. More so than other people.
@Kat
AIALT (All Incels Are Like That)
“WHAT ARE THESE CREATURES OF HAIR WHO FLOCK TOGETHER AND EMIT RANDOM JOY SOUNDS FROM THEIR NOISE-HOLES” The OP sounds like a puzzled 4 year old who’s barely mastered object permanence, yet it’s the women who are childlike. OK.
People with long hair flick our hair. Typically because it gets in the way or starts tickling us. Nothing to do with gender.
I don’t actually know, but my guess is that it means they think they’re incel because they’re too old. Which would be absolutely par for the course, given the standard incel bit about “the wall.”
If there’s hypocrisy to be done, incels will do it.
@Gaebolga, Tohka
That could be it. My guess was that it’s For people who are incels but aren’t ready to admit that they’re blackpill (or aren’t all the way) so they say they’re greypill.
I feel powerful and sexy when I speak up so fuck off incels. And no I don’t flick my hair because it’s up today so I can wear this amazing pillbox hat. It’s vintage and has fine mesh netting that comes down as a full veil. But you can bet I’m going to speak with clarity and be heard.
I had the misfortune of looking up what the graypill is, and apparently it’s supposed to be a stage beyond blackpill, where they stop being angry and nihilist and become more productive.
“We don’t constantly post embarrassing edgy stuff online” is one of their points.
Apparently it’s not working.
