Nah. We've always had arguments on the left about issues that people felt very strongly about, and existentially threatened about whether it would go their way or not. You tip your hand when you say civil rights, because all of this went back and forth and was up in the air when people were hammering out what the democrats would support and oppose in relation to blacks, and women, and gays, and every minority that tried to establish a place in the sun before "trans rights" came along.

All of them coped with being challenged. And the groups that we remember as having won recognition and legal protection are just a fraction of the groups that tried. The process of testing claims is part of how society assesses whether the demands it gets are frivolous, or whether one group is expecting accomodations that would come at the expense of a previous group ... or whether it's actually worth taking seriously.

Incels believe themselves to be an unfairly excluded sexual minority too, and in a lot of ways their claims seem no less extreme or absurd to everyone who isn't one.
