I mean, he advocated concentration camps and breeding farms, for God's sake! Nowhere did he say anything comparable about his own gender.

Why Is It So Hard For People to Get That Rodger, Elliot Hated Sexually Active Men? [View all] JJChambers May 2014 OP

He planned to kill a houseful of women. bravenak May 2014 #1

He planned to lure random people to his apartment and murder them JJChambers May 2014 #2

He hated men because the could get women. bravenak May 2014 #5

Primarily the men who he considered lesser in status than himself JJChambers May 2014 #6

Because he was a narcisistic woman hating man. bravenak May 2014 #20

Mental illness and political ideology are not at all mutually excluse. Why would anyone think so? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #53

I have no idea whats going on with this one anymore. bravenak May 2014 #62

I'd go further and posit that an extreme obsession with ideology can often drive one to madness. Flatulo May 2014 #162

NO!! Because they were laying women and he was jealous because he couldn't have sex with those women Liberal_Stalwart71 May 2014 #99

Their sex lives were all in his head, ironically, because he took every glance and .... Hekate May 2014 #131

Yep. Of course. Because women, in his mind--as in the minds of most women haters--are sluts. Liberal_Stalwart71 May 2014 #134

Dont forget that this is an isolated incident, nothing to do with guns or hating women randys1 May 2014 #153

he had planned to kill members of his own family as well (male and female) big_dog May 2014 #3

I may not agree with some of the full length of explanations to Rodger's actions... Shandris May 2014 #4

It's meant to be dismissive of PeaceNikki's OP from earlier. That's the whole point. n/t nomorenomore08 May 2014 #54

Meh. I kind of figured as much, but I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Shandris May 2014 #116

Me too. But some of the willful head-in-sand responses have pushed beyond my tolerance level. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #117

You know who white supremacists hate almost as much as POCs? White people who aren't racist. LeftyMom May 2014 #7

White supremacists are whtite supremacists; Rodger, Elliot is crazy. JJChambers May 2014 #8

He was connected to a larger movement of organized misogyny. LeftyMom May 2014 #11

I thought he was a member of ANTI- pick up artist groups? JJChambers May 2014 #13

Go read the group if you're unclear about it's intent. They're mad that PUA techniques didn't work, LeftyMom May 2014 #18

oh gosh, you didn't read up on any of this, did you? PUA hate is Failed PUAs who are pissed the bettyellen May 2014 #21

He was drawn to the PUAs because he was a misogynist and then became disillusioned geek tragedy May 2014 #27

Because when he said he'd kill every "blonde slut" he saw, he meant men too. arcane1 May 2014 #9

Because men can be sluts too, don'cha know? It's just a coincidence the word refers to women 99% of nomorenomore08 May 2014 #90

Exactly JJChambers May 2014 #22

his hatred of some men is derivative of and ancillary to his hatred of women. geek tragedy May 2014 #29

shorter OP: "SHUT UP YOU DAMN UPPITY FEMINISTS MISOGYNY DOESN'T HURT ANYONE" nt geek tragedy May 2014 #25

Shorter response: JJChambers May 2014 #26

Classic anti-feminist derailing technique--make EVERYTHING about how men are the primary victim. geek tragedy May 2014 #28

Men were the primary victims: He killed twice as many men as he killed women JJChambers May 2014 #31

He was preparing his apartment as a trap for women. The men were in the way. Hekate May 2014 #36

Really? That's not what he says in his Manfiesto. Please, share where you learned that. JJChambers May 2014 #46

Cat got your tongue? JJChambers May 2014 #85

She. And I have a life apart from this godforsaken site. Like grieving for my townspeople. nt Hekate May 2014 #130

kind of like you think that all real feminists approve of women being objectified geek tragedy May 2014 #39

Feminists, like me, empower women -- not shut them down for making choices that we do not approve of JJChambers May 2014 #47

No, you just try to shut them up when you don't like what they are saying nt geek tragedy May 2014 #59

When they're bashing women for making choices they dont agree with JJChambers May 2014 #67

That's true. I'm the same way. AverageJoe90 May 2014 #102

That must be why he went to a sorority house Scootaloo May 2014 #40

That was only because that sorority house did not open the door Jamastiene May 2014 #124

Still shorter response ... 1StrongBlackMan May 2014 #101

He hated men only in reference to women. It was all about the women who denied him... Hekate May 2014 #32

Are you at least having fun doing this? LeftyMom May 2014 #33

Some of the reactions are bit contemptible in my opinion. Liberal Veteran May 2014 #35

yes, because women/feminists denounce misogyny only for bragging rights nt geek tragedy May 2014 #41

Way to miss the point and prove it at the same time. Liberal Veteran May 2014 #48

um, no, when feminists denounce misogyny and try to highlight cases geek tragedy May 2014 #51

Why do you keep writing his name like that? morningfog May 2014 #63
