The average man will go through a period of involuntary celibacy and I don’t believe this is a new thing but we’re now good at labeling. History shows that 80% of women reproduced compared to only 40% of men!

(Note not sure the primary source on this stat, but the general idea is that polygamy was once common leading to fewer men reproducing)
We’re doing much better than that today, but how were things through history when 60% of men were “incels”? (Generally lots of violence)
In the interim, the most restrictive religious social systems apportioned one man for one woman, held sex as a reward for marriage, and punished those that strayed outside of these lines. This achieved the objective of efficient coupling but I don’t think we would ever want to go back to those repressive systems that controlled women.
