"RUN, NUNS, RUN!" was so fucking perfect.

Yes, I know this. He also expected to be able to get a good job before even thinking about going to college and stuck his nose up at working retail or being a janitor. But he didn't go killing people over the "unfairness" of the lottery or lack of jobs that were "good enough" for him, did he?
Hi there. I did, actually and you may be right that he had severe entitlement issues, but he saw women as objects he deserved but could not attain. He never even spoke to women, he just expected them to fall in his lap. He never spoke of their autonomy or anything really aside from their beauty, sexuality and apparent…
Again...which can be said of ANYONE who wants something they can't have and lashes out violently to get it. It's called entitlement, and it's actually not a mental illness.
Wuh-oh, here come the condescending pet names. Why don't you start turning down the gas lights while you're at it?
Reading the edits made me mad at first, and then it was just hilarious when every edit became "because MISANDRY!!" Like, no attempt to contextually weave it in so people wouldn't notice. Nope—they just went full on "Hulk smash!"
You do realize that you could apply this exact same explanation to virtually EVERY act of violence against ANYONE, right? A person who doesn't get their way and lashes out violently= mental illness all around?
Ugh, I just get so internet ragey with all the lady-hating! yikes! gggaaaahhhhh!
MRAs aren't very good with subtlety, are they?
Argh.
Ugh yes. So many lost causes out there who just refuse to accept this. I have a hard time not being offended by it because it just feels like they are looking to excuse him/take the focus off of the reality of the situation and the truth of our culture. GAH!
The amazing thing is that they're still saying it, and they just CAN'T UNDERSTAND. They're still saying "But he killed men" "he hated everyone". HE SAID HE HATED WOMEN THAT IS WHY HE DID IT I CAN'T EVEN. Maybe he hated women so much in part because of mental health issues, I'm fully accepting of that explanation, but…
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS A DEBATE. Misogyny was THE reason. That is a fact from Rodger himself. And if anyone else bothered to read his autobiography/manifesto (I read age 13-present), you would clearly see that although he was not the most mentally fit, all of his woes revolved around women and the men who…
I'll be honest, I'm fucking exhausted from the last few weeks considering this shooting and hashtag. I don't know how many probably pointless internet arguments I've gotten into with MRAs and at this point I'm almost in tears thinking about it. I've told strangers about my sexual assaults IN DETAIL and still men don't…
I've been here for years and this is the first time I've ever reported a post. What the actual fuck.
I just emailed the help@gawker with a permalink to one of them, so hopefully they will get on that.
Can someone call the porn police please! MODS!
Must be the same guys who edit and re-edit the domestic violence page. It's ugly (and utterly misleading) over there. Ugh.
