"Involuntarily celibate" was a term invented on the internet by guys

No it isn't, you couldn't even make it a dozen words into your wall of text before typing something that was wrong.

Look up 'Alana's Involuntary Celibate Blog', that's where it came from.

Obviously we all know that the entire history of "incels" does not begin with a term coined on an obscure blog on the early internet. It just somehow took over from "love shy". There have always been low-value men. The only thing that changes is the cultural context.

The word "feminism" was coined by a Frenchman who believed in state-sanctioned girlfriends, I always find that an amusing little factoid.
