    Considering that marriage was not optional for the vast majority of people and the extremely low standards for the treatment of women, incels would have been vanishingly rare. Maybe a few literal lepers.

      I feel we are both technically correct here.

      Were incels common? Almost certainly not.

      Were incels impossible? No. Rare, but not impossible.
