That's a very broad question. I'll try to answer briefly. There are elements of feminism which I find to be completely uncontroversial. For starters there really is no coming back to the model 50s suburban American family with woman as the housewife and man as the breadwinner for a very simple reason that capitalism will not allow half of the workforce (leaving aside the question whether or not this half is the more competent one) to exit the labour market. That being said I find it dishonest of them to dismiss incel theory out of hand. You can accept the theory and still remain a committed feminist out of principle. They choose to outright deny the theory in spite of the crushing weight of evidence

Kant has written a treatise onThe Vital Powers; but I should like to write a dirge on them, since their lavish use in the form of knocking, hammering, and tumbling things about has made the whole of my life a daily torment. Certainly there are people, nay, very many, who will smile at this, because they are not sensitive to noise; it is precisely these people, however, who are not sensitive to argument, thought, poetry or art, in short, to any kind of intellectual impression: a fact to be assigned to the coarse quality and strong texture of their brain tissues. On the other hand, in the biographies or in other records of the personal utterances of almost all great writers, I find complaints of the pain that noise has occasioned to intellectual men. For example, in the case of Kant, Goethe, Lichtenberg, Jean Paul; and indeed when no mention is made of the matter it is merely because the context did not lead up to it. I should explain the subject we are treating in this way: If a big diamond is cut up into pieces, it immediately loses its value as a whole; or if an army is scattered or divided into small bodies, it loses all its power; and in the same way a great intellect has no more power than an ordinary one as soon as it is interrupted, disturbed, distracted, or diverted; for its superiority entails that it concentrates all its strength on one point and object, just as a concave mirror concentrates all the rays of light thrown upon it. Noisy interruption prevents this concentration. This is why the most eminent intellects have always been strongly averse to any kind of disturbance, interruption and distraction, and above everything to that violent interruption which is caused by noise; other people do not take any particular notice of this sort of thing. The most intelligent of all the European nations has called “Never interrupt” the eleventh commandment. But noise is the most impertinent of all interruptions, for it not only interrupts our own thoughts but disperses them. Where, however, there is nothing to interrupt, noise naturally will not be felt particularly. Sometimes a trifling but incessant noise torments and disturbs me for a time, and before I become distinctly conscious of it I feel it merely as the effort of thinking becomes more difficult, just as I should feel a weight on my foot; then I realise what it is.

There is also something really distinctly American about this in the way the comic author takes offence. Probably read in the Wiki article that he may have pushed a woman down the stairs once, got outraged by it, and decided to retroactively cancel him. I can not really articulate it but I always find it particularly strange how there is a subset of people trying to apply a specific modern standard to old times. Instead of going like "Huh, so he did this once, I guess he had some flaws, too. But those were different times" they brand that particular person as an impure heretic that you dare not speak positively of.

More than one sentence but you can just take the first one, I suppose.
Not him nor am I an incel and it's a little bit more broad and complicated than this but it's essentially that females are biologically predisposed to superficiality in whom they mate with so in the absence of strict social norms preventing them from acting on these urges and forcing them into finding a mate most suitable for society as a whole, they will all turn into sloots for physically attractive and wealthy men but will not have children and will not settle for less attractive men that may have better prospects.
To an incel, this means that the lower boundary on marriageable males has gone up significantly, leaving him below it, and he latches onto his inability to find a partner as the main reason for his extreme loneliness. Also, there's the idea that both men and women aren't being educated by society properly leaving the incel feeling that both his potential partners are less valuable but that he himself is less valuable and neither have any real marketable traits other than their bodies. For example, the hetaerae in Greece and many prostitutes in Japan were expected to be at least somewhat educated in poetry and music.

>females are biologically predisposed to superficiality

This is interesting to me, this is what I want to find scientific and even literary works on.

Makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Females have choices. Women choose what they perceive to be the best of the lot, or second-best, or third-best, etc. depending on where they themselves are kind of "ranked" within society. The same type of men are generally being chosen, leaving the rest with little or no access to women. Those being left out in the cold with no way in are incels.

So like the land-surveyor in Kafka's Castle, who keeps trying to get in and be accepted into the society but they don't want him in, thus he is something like an incel.
