My other favorite was the guy (right here on Jez!) who said, “It doesn’t matter if Elliot Rodger hated women. He might as well have hated pigeons.”

And that he figured a “lady movie” would attract women to the theater so it was an efficient way to get as many of them in a space as possible. It was horrifying on several levels.

“I used to date frat boys, but now I prefer consensual.”

So many misogynist terrorist and generic violent (like this one) events aren’t discussed for what they really are. It's so frustrating.

Nah, that’s not what’s happening. People just don’t want to confront misogynistic violence.

Yep — I believe the implication was that he was targeting a movie starring/written by a “promiscuous” woman who was encouraging other women to have dangerous sex thoughts, etc.

I mean, people scrambled to explain that Elliot Rogers was secretly gay, rather than discussing the fact that he was just a misogynist.

I guess misogynist violence just isn’t a novelty :( :(

I’m still pissed off that this shooting, which the shooter admitted was an attack on women, did not get a ton of attention. People focused on the fact that it was in a movie theater more than the fact that the shooter was an admitted misogynist. I mean the host of a radio show even said that the shooter frequently…

What we’re all missing is the grave injustice of Andrew Jackson being forced to relocate by the federal government. He must be very sad...

Good for you! I always felt bad about that— everyone asked if I was crying, how it must be so awful. Hmm, not so much. My first baby was awful— napped for like 30 minutes at a time, wouldn’t nurse, all that. Then I go to work and it’s all clean and nice and quiet. I’m really not sure I “missed” him, and I’m telling…

I didn’t mind the way she handled the karate thing. And I thought it was awesome how receptive the karate teacher was to the criticism!

Her parents honestly failed their daughter by not teaching her how to protect herself and not end up pregnant. They should have known she was mentally unfit to raise a child and done everything in their power to teach their daughter about sexual health.

Women who were actually with their male partners were also attacked. The attackers swarmed them and made sure they separated the women (and teen children!) from the husbands/boyfriends/dads so they could push them on the floor and sexually assault them while the husband/boyfriend/dad could do nothing to get past the…

Sexism and hatred of women is a worldwide problem. But YES, it is absolutely worse in some parts of the world than in others. This is well-documented by human rights organizations. I did not assume beforehand that any immigrant would assault a woman BUT NOW IT HAPPENED and we need to not look away. If these men do not…

I know many here will go on on about how it’s the same everywhere and all that, but it simply is not true.

There were groups of women of ten friends who had gone to watch fire works together. It didn’t save them from attack.

Germany has taken in 1.1 million people in less than a year. Not selected from camps and checked - jut opening border and welcome. About 70 to 80% of them are fit young men. They come from cultures where you can “ slut shame “ a woman for showing any part of her body. You can have thick stockings, full baggy covering…

I’ve been steamed about this whole thing when I first started to see the stories emerge online. And the advice to the women...to keep at arms distance, don’t talk to strangers, walk in pairs, etc. What BS. Makes me sick.

“Allegedly concealing information” - translated , that means that initially, the police reported that the night had passed “peacefully “ & it took 4 to 5 days for the truth to be acknowledged publicly. The mass sexual assults was too widely reported on social media for it to continue to be denied. 100 men were…
