	Description:		Concerns have been raised about so called ‘involuntary celibates’. Incels, as they are better known, aren’t choosing to abstain of their own volition. Instead, they blame society, and particularly women, for denying them the opportunity for sexual relationships. While this anger has stayed online for the most part, it has been blamed for acts of real world violence. So what exactly are incels? What risks do they pose to the rest of us? And what is New Zealand doing to ensure we don’t end up as the latest country hit by an incel-inspired attack? Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald journalist and In the Loop co-host Katie Harris for a discussion about an online sub-culture that’s sparked concern.
