The Other Side
Scissor Sisters
What will one day become of us?
We'll grow as grass under their feet
No one here will ever know your name
And you still lie here next to me
If it takes another life, I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me as good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
Get used to this, you're going to be alright
The world goes on with or without me
If I don't ever leave a thing behind
I'll still leave you without me
If it takes another life, I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me as good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
If it takes another life, I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me as good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
And I have a right to be a nothing
And I have a right to be loved
There'll be over the rainbow for me

The personality traits associated with incels are linked to several psychopathological issues, according to new research published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
An incel (or involuntary celibate) refers to a member of an online subculture of individuals who feel deprived of meaningful companionship and sex. Many of these individuals resent women for rejecting them romantically and sexually. Unfortunately, some individuals within this subculture have even turned to violence. Although many people are quick to condemn incels for their misogynistic views, understanding the complexities behind this growing subculture could help to prevent future harms.
I began to study this topic together with my colleague, Professor Lilybeth Fontanesi. Our interest regarded the possible psychological explanations of extreme misogyny in the contemporary phenomenon of incel, said study author Giacomo Ciocca, a professor of clinical psychology at Sapienza University of Rome.
The researchers used the online platform Qualtrics to survey a sample of 770 male participants. The survey included an assessment known as the incel trait scale. The participants were shown a list of 20 traits and asked to indicate which described them. The traits included characteristics such as excluded, scorned, unattractive, defeated, hateful, and resentful.
Ciocca and his colleagues found that those who scored higher on the incel trait scale tended to also score high on measures of paranoia, anxiety, and depression. In addition, the incel traits were associated with a fearful attachment style. In other words, those who scored higher on the scale were more likely to agree with the statement I am comfortable without close emotional relationships. It is very important to me to feel independent and self-sufficient, and I prefer not to depend on others or have others depend on me.
