Not really. Incel implies a level of indoctrination into a misogynistic POV that has you convinced that you’re better off alone. It’s not the same as insulting someone for simply not having had sex yet.
edit: not that I think either is a productive thing to call another person
Good point, but I still think incel carries a certain connotation of misogyny with it, though. Otherwise you would just say “virgin”
