>>112783One of the many, many, many problems with trying to learn anything about human sexuality through survey responses from men:
the average serial rapist is unreported, unimprisoned, unburdened by conscience and unperturbed. Any and every man whose partner and hookup count exceeds oh let's be extremely generous and say 100 has probably committed multiple forceful rapes, with a mental litany of excuses he uses to pave over any personal doubts or questions. Harvey Weinstein personally regards everything he did to every woman he did it to as entirely consensual. And all the millionaires who visited the Epstein island likewise. College athletes are notorious serial rapists specifically because a lifetime supply of enthusiastic consent gives them ample mental wallpaper to cover any cracks or doubts or concerns.
So yes, a large number of those men's sexual encounters and thus measure of "sexual success" can be attributed to their misogynistic attitutes. Because the misogynistic attitudes that misogyny indexes are generally concerned with are those which give them mental and social and emotional permission to rape freely and forcefully.
Nobody really thinks that every variety or kind of misogyny needs to necessarily be the kind that leads to rape. But the kind of misogyny that leads to rape is the kind that oh let's say law enforcement profiling instruments will target. Nobody is anywhere near as concerned with developing a sophisticated and accurate instrument for measuring misogynistic attitudes that do not lead to rape. Because there's a rape epidemic worldwide, and in many countries a rising tide of deliberate femicide. Because if some male's misogyny only hurts him, then that isn't a problem for anyone who matters. Not even therapy, since obviously if therapy were concerned with that then there would already be a relevant therapeutic instrument.
So it is very easily possible for an incel who is a flat 0 on the specific misogynistic processes that lead to rape to be more genuinely misogynistic than a normal average guy who is 50% of the way to true rapist mentality. Neither of them have raped anyone and neither of them will rape anyone but the incel will be not raping anyone while committing a femicidal killing spree whereas the normal man will be not raping anyone while engaging in consensual nonconsent play with his many satisfied sexual partners.
