Incells oppose themselves to a sexual market in which they see themselves as losers, while being wedded to the status hierarchy that structures that market. The insil phenomenon reveal that masculinity functions in a way similar to whiteness, obscuring common oppressions and their actual sources by blaming even more oppress people for their own oppression. Insell's real complaint is that there are no women to offer them respite from the very system that their idiology, in its insistence on women as status conferring commodities, props up.
