abstract="The current study aims to shed light on how masculinity threat and challenges from women translate into fantasies of mass and gender-based violence. These attitudes are evident among some self-proclaimed &quot;incels,&quot; who blame social liberalism, feminism, and sexually active men for their rejection from women. We developed a measure of &quot;incel&quot; traits, which was administered in an online self-report survey of 18- to 30-year-old heterosexual men in the United States. As hypothesized, stress in one's inability to live up to norms of masculinity and endorsement of &quot;incel&quot; traits are associated with violent fantasies about rape and using powerful weapons against enemies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
