I accept your experience as valid. However, I do see men and boys being collectively refered to as “males”. I propose that the disparity may be explained by the places we frequent. But I also agree that the “males” noun don’t seem to be used as often. This, coupled with how the “female” noun is used as a slur by misogynists, make it clear to me why women are offended by it, and it’s why I’ve stopped using it.
I’ve been incel for years and never hated or blamed women. I was aware of hateful incels but I avoided them.
I wish people would stop generalizing.
