BOOM

“Our world today is so accepting and equal!”

Yeah. Because multiple women being shot just because a man felt like they owed him sex is “accepting and equal.”

Because people on the internet supporting him with things like “you shoulda raped them” and “that’s what you get for friendzoning him” is “accepting and equal.”

Because crimes not even that severe are declared acts of terrorism with no support when the perpetrator isn’t white is “accepting and equal.”

Because the blame instantly goes to him being “mentally ill” and “needing help”, while neuroatypical people struggle every day to fit in to your standards of “normal” is “accepting and equal.”

Because comments acting like sex is a basic human need, completely erasing people that don’t experience sexual attraction or desire sex and making them feel wrong, is “accepting and equal.”

Because after there was a shooting in a Jewish museum, directly linked to hatred of the religion, nobody caused an uproar, is “accepting and equal.”

Because an act against any group needs to be violent before it can even begin to be considered a problem is “accepting and equal.”

#YesAllWomen is trending on Twitter right now.

This is very important. 

Right now, men just need to shut up, read these and learn. We HAVE to do better.

elliott rodger was incredibly rich. he had a therapist. he had a huge support network of fellow misogynists. this is not a matter of ‘getting help’. he had all the help in the world.

someone get me a source please.

he was the child of a hollywood big-shot and he drove a freaking bmw

his dad’s lawyer reports him going to multiple therapists 

he was an active member of the ‘manosphere,’ which covers multiple internet communities that have been classed by the southern poverty law center as hate groups

Further resources to show that the fatal ingredient was his male entitlement, not a poor life or lack of mental health care.

Things this shooting will get blamed on:

Mental illness
Women

Things which it should be blamed on but won’t be:

Male entitlement
Misogyny
The overly-loose gun control laws

I brought up the shooter at dinner tonight and all anyone said was “he’s not mentally well” and went on and on about “dangerous psychopaths”

I tried to point out the misogyny and the fact that it was a crime literally about male entitlement but everyone brushed that off in favor of talking about how he’s soooooo mentally ill

Sickening

as much as everyone should be talking about the UC shootings and creating an online discussion about misogyny and gun control, please don’t forget that there was a shooting at a jewish museum in brussels today too.

let’s scream and shout about the war on women but - especially with regards to the EU elections - let’s scream and shout about the rise of anti-semitism in Europe too

calakazam:

top lol at the fact media outlets are brining up the fact that shooter was autistic and calling him “metally disturbed”

top lol at the fact mental illness is being used as a scapegoat for his actions instead of the fact he was a violent misogynist 

top fucking lol
