I don’t think incels were possible back then

… you… don’t think there were people too poor, or ugly, or unhygenic, or rude, or abrasive, or poor of health, … to have ever had a sexual encounter, to ever be married … and to become misogynistic as a result?

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.
