"Castaway," "Shawshank Redemption," "The Deer Hunter," you know the others. This is not about MGTOW cinema which is a dead horse topic by now, but it's interesting to note that a lot of these films center on men being forcefully isolated from women/society before they change.

Have any of you ever been through similar circumstances where you were kept away from women for long periods of time, be it military, priesthood, jail, etc? How did those incel periods change your perspective?
