Not really. Incel implies a level of indoctrination into a misogynistic POV that has you convinced that you’re better off alone. It’s not the same as insulting someone for simply not having had sex yet.
edit: not that I think either is a productive thing to call another person
No one is thinking this deeply when they call a man who just said/did something they don't like an "incel". People just use it mindlessly as an insult, same as with "virgin".
I think people who haven't been been the target of insults since high school (or maybe ever?) forget how petty and uncreative it often is.
The point insulting someone isn't to be truthful, it's to be hurtful or put them down.
Maybe if they’re really young and weren’t on the internet when the word became popular, sure
who else call people virgin anyways?
Good point, but I still think incel carries a certain connotation of misogyny with it, though. Otherwise you would just say “virgin”
