Misogyny Brings Murder And Tragedies (Commentary About The UCSB massacre)

Recently, in light of the massacre at UCSB, I feel I need to talk about the misogynist statement where he rambles on about killing blond sluts and how womyn didn't love him enough. The fact that he said that shit would have been pathetic and laughable if he didn't act on it. But he did and it was tragic. Some groups of men want to use this tragedy to reinforce male entitlement and make the shooter out to be a victim. This also brought the conspiracy nuts and wannabe Alex Joneses out of the wood works try to gloss it over by saying that the shooting was fake. Well it is very real and very tragic for the families and loved ones of the people he gunned down. Elliott Rodger was not crazy, he was not a victim and unfortunately he is not alone. He is part of an epidemic of male violence against womyn as retaliation for feelings of rejection. He was a misogynist. He was a terrorist... not a martyr, not a victim, not someone who suffers from mental illness and certainly not justified. You would think MRAs would want to tone down their hate speech for a bit, right? Wrong. The MRAs and their whole lot seem to think if one of us womyn had put out for him he wouldn't have been driven to this (because clearly womyn are responsible for whether some guy murders people or not) and some are even rallying around the guy as some sort of victim. One of the MRA groups called A Voice for Men has a conference coming up in Detroit. There is a petition to stop the conference, by the way. The conference is in extremely bad taste considering the recent massacre. Who is to blame for this massacre? Elliot Rodger first and foremost is to blame. The culture of male entitlement and violence is another example. Men are taught in society that they deserve to "have" a grrrl and that womyn are commodities for men to "get" like when you go to the store to get a pack of cigarettes. Well womyn aren't a commodity to get. We are people with feelings, dreams, aspirations and interests of our own.

My condolences to the friends, loved ones and family of the six people who Elliot Rodger killed. My heart goes out to you.
