The biases people have are real, but I'd think that the employer thinking that he is married, surely isn't the only reason? If they weren't capable of performing the job which they were applying for, then of course they're going to pass you over.
That boss probably subconsciously thinks- "Oh, you're single and don't need to support a family? Then I guess I don't need to pay you as much, being that you're only supporting yourself, hmm?..."
This translates into a substantial marriage premium for men. On average, young married men, aged 28-30, make $15,900 more than their single peers, and married men aged 44-46 make $18,800 more than their single peers.
That’s even after controlling for differences in education, race, ethnicity, regional unemployment, and scores on a test of general knowledge. What’s more: the marriage premium operates for black, Hispanic, and less-educated men in much the same way as it does for men in general.
For instance, men with a high-school degree or less make at least $17,000 more than their single peers.
....
And yet the research suggests at least part of the marriage premium is causal: one study showed gains at work when men are married compared to when the same men were not married and another study of twins found that married twins earned 26 percent more than their identical twins who were not married.
Some worry that what we’re really saying is that it is wives’ job to make their men better. But the reality is much more complex.
4. Employers like married men with children. There is evidence that employers prefer and promote men who are married with children, especially compared to their childless male peers and to mothers. Married men are often seen as more responsible and dedicated workers and are rewarded with more opportunities by employers. While illegal bias and long-held stereotypes appear to play a role in this historic preference, it nonetheless helps explain why married family men get paid more.

Nation of Islam, for instance, likewise has a warped worldview that is highly separate and distinct from say, Martin Luther kings, but both movements draw on the same fundamental problem for their support, one often inspiring violence which is celebrated.
Being an incel isn't a societal mistreatment lmao

They are members of an oppressed group, and a specific subgroup of that group. Like I said, they're comparable to nation of islam in that they have a weird and fucked up narrative but fundamentally draw upon oppression as their reason for being.

That's a superficial view of the problem. Vilification of men and pressures placed on them is the mistreatment. A substantial part of incel discussions revolve around the unfair treatment they receive for not having sex / womens approval.
It goes beyond the mere sex, as both me and Liriena pointed out, they reject prostitution as a solution. It's about social acceptance which they feel women are denying them, and in many ways, as a class, they are.
The vilification of long-time single males, terms like "loser" and "creep" being abused, pressures placed on males to find partners and such, etc.

They're not getting vilified for being long-time single males, they're specifically getting vilified because of how they choose to view women as objects rather than people and use the obvious outcome of that viewpoint to wallow about how women reject them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.Liriena wrote:I mean, those of us outside of that cesspool can attest to that, but a major part of the incel delusion is precisely the idea that they are an oppressed group.

Exactly, they're deluded into thinking they're being oppressed by society, but the reality is that they're not at all.

No, people will mock you and attack you without knowing anything about you other than that you're a lonely virgin. I already outlined my experience with this.

People vilify males who are long-term single, and it's something not done to women nearly as much. And I do mean vilified, as in, there's assumed to be character defects explaining it and rationalizing away that they're simply bad people.
In terms of labeling theory, it's also self-fulfilling.
