What is a femcel?

A femcel is a term used to describe a woman who identifies as involuntarily celibate, meaning she desires a romantic or sexual relationship but is unable to find a partner. Femcels often feel frustrated, lonely, and rejected due to their inability to form intimate connections with others. This term was coined as a female counterpart to the male-centric term "incel" (involuntarily celibate). Femcels may struggle with self-esteem issues, social anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, and may seek support or validation from online communities or forums. It is important to acknowledge and address the challenges that femcels may face in their quest for companionship and intimacy.
