Yes. Let's blame society. We are all at fault, here. No. Wait. How about we blame the self-important, over-indulged manchild that refused to accept that he needed any kind of help to be less awkward, refused to take a step out of his comfort zone to try to speak to anyone and instead built up his fantasy world where…

These unreliable narrators - who are also over-identifying a bit too much with that murderer for my taste, frankly - speculating all down through the thread about "maybe he was bullied and just didn't write it down" and"maybe she was mean to him; we don't know" are making me stabby. Dude gave us 140,000 words. …

you're playing devil's advocate for a man who murdered six people, and would have killed more? A man who killed his roommates so his apartment could be used as a torture and killing chamber? Dude, that's incredibly gross.

That's a capitol bit of assholery...her only crime is being the object of affection of a mentally ill man who committed a terrible crime. She gets her face splashed across rag tabloids and tries to take down her Instagram and Twitter accounts to control the damage. Your reaction is to dig through her FB page and…

Who said these all of these people were mentally ill? Society is so fucked up that men who have no mental problems act like this because they cannot fathom the idea that women are people like they are.

And if he had gotten into that Sorority house, I'm willing to bet that the female body count would have been a lot higher. He went on a spontaneous killing spree, shooting whoever he saw. It happened that he ended up killing more men than women. "Lucky" for us, he left 140 pages explaining his "reasoning", in which he…

Thank you

This is so true. They're not sorry for harassing a woman, they're sorry for encroaching on another man's territory (at least seemingly so). I've encountered so many guys who wouldn't back off until I told them I was married. "Well why didn't you just say so, god, I wouldn't have bothered." Because it shouldn't matter!…

Ok - you are kind of a mansplaining prick aren't you? How about you and your fellows shut up and just LISTEN for a change?

You may want to read his manifesto, where he talks about starving women to death in concentration camps and keeping only a few alive for breeding, then keeping their existence secret from boys so they can grow up in the harmony of an all-male world. Yes, he is a misogynist.

Isha, while I appreciate the focus brought on this hashtag, I think you're extremely wrong to characterize "everyday misogyny" as somehow distinct from the misogyny which fueled Rodger's machinations and eventually his killing spree.

I have a two boys and a girl. Some regulars on here probably know this because I mention them often. My daughter is the youngest and she's the center of the entire family universe. My sons are lovely and thoughtful boys.

Elliot Rodgers was never "rebuffed".

What a petty, pedantic, and idiotic response. It doesn't matter what the fucking job is. That's not an excuse to break laws or exploit people.

You know what? If having access to a toilet, sanitary napkins, and not having to sleep outside and fear rape or snakebites is "Western Propaganda," bring it on. This is a human rights issue for millions of women, who are being denied an education and a future over a biological process they have no say in. Culture…

I feel perfectly okay criticizing female genital mutilation, regardless of which culture happens to practice it.

Oh noez! Teh MRAs are coming to get you, Lindy!

People who have regular parents...even flawed but slightly normal parents just do not get it and they never will. God bless them. They cant fathom a world where the person who is supposed to be your safe place to fall...the person who is supposed to make everything better...is actually the person you have to protect…

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

I legit love Chicago, why the fuck is Robin Thicke performing with them? Why does he have to ruin everything?
