“A man, who bears a passing resemblance to actor Jake Gyllenhaal, participating in a protest. It appears to be rainy as he is wearing a black hooded rain jacket. He is smiling and looking at the camera, holding a cardboard sign that reads: “Scotland hated Trump before it was fashionable”. There is a Scottish flag attached to the sign.

A New Era of Gender-Targeted
Counterterrorism
This case represents a shift in how France and other nations may begin addressing the rising tide of misogynist radicalization. It affirms that gender-based hate can no longer be seen as only a social or cultural issue - it's now a matter of public safety and terrorism prevention.

What Is Incel Ideology?
Short for "involuntary celibate," the incel movement is a global online subculture where some men foster hatred toward women, blaming them for their own lack of sexual or romantic relationships.
Incel communities glorify violence and have inspired mass attacks in Canada and the U.S. The arrested French teen praised killers like Elliot Rodger (California, 2014) and Alek Minassian (Toronto, 2018), both of whom cited incel beliefs in their manifestos.

Why This Case Is Historic
This is the first time France has invoked counterterrorism laws against an individual whose motivation was rooted in incel ideology. Until now, such misogynist extremism was often viewed as isolated or ideological, but not terroristic. This case marks a shift: treating gender-based hatred as a national security concern.

Who Was Arrested, and Why?
On June 11, 2025, French police arrested an 18-year-old in the central city of Saint-Étienne. He was found carrying multiple knives, as well as a manifesto that detailed his hatred toward women and his intent to commit violence. Authorities say he was actively plotting attacks on women in public spaces, specifically because of their gender.

I had a new guy working for me once in retail who fell asleep a few times during his shifts. I had coworkers and customers both tell me they thought he was on drugs cuz he'd nod off right in the middle of something like that.
When I talked to him about it it turned out he was homeless and he'd been living in his car and being harassed by cops for sleeping in it, so every night he'd sleep an hour or two and get up and drive to a new spot, sleep another hour or two and get up and move again. I moved his schedule a bit and had him start parking in our private lot and talked to some other managers to make sure he'd get left alone there. Only took the kid a few weeks after that to get on top of himself and get a room. Some people just need a little help.

@SKRiley_Author #AltText4U Image description: Marsupial about the size of a house cat, with a long tail and pointed pink nose and pointed ears. The photo captures it with both visible light and just enough UV light to highlight parts of the fur pattern that fluoresce. It flouresces in numerous white spots on the coat as well as parts of the tail and feet. The retinas of the quoll are also reflecting back light.
