Remember man who shot dead 2 women at a yoga studio,injured 5, and killed himself? An investigation has found he “planned the attack for months and had...a documented disdain for the opposite sex.”Does such misogyny qualify as terrorism? nytimes.com/2019/02/12/us/… #ToxicMasculinity
3 month’s before the mass shooting, Scott Beierle “shared a link to his website “Path of Defiance” with a childhood friend & his wife,who was so disturbed by the content — it included songs about the rape and torture of women — that she shared it with the FBI.” #ToxicMasculinity
“If I can’t find one decent female to live with, I will find many indecent females to die with. If they are intent on denying me life, I will have no choice, but to deny them life,” a document recovered from a hotel room where Beierle had been staying, said. #ToxicMasculinity
Investigation found he “had a history of sexual misconduct vs women going back to grade school through his military career & equally long trail of misogynistic & racist content posted on the web,incl songs he wrote & recorded about his frustrations & failures in life,love & work”
When does this kind of misogyny that calls on & is inspired by previous acts of violence vs women qualify as a form of terrorism that is flagged? I never use word “terrorism” bec it is obviously political. But how else to describe orchestrated attacks vs women? #ToxicMasculinity
Aren’t these incel videos vowing violence against women like jihadi videos vowing violence against “infidels”? #ToxicMasculinity 
Daily acts of violence vs women are so commonplace they aren’t serious enough to qualify as national security threats. They are so “normalized” because patriarchy is nor@amused. For every outrageous act of incel viokve, there are daily drip drip drip acts of misogynist violence
If every act of violence against women were reported on the news, it would be recognized for the epidemic that it is. Instead, only the “especially” violent attacks are reported and not even all of those, which tells you that society doesn’t care and/or it’s immune to it.
Because if every murder, rape, sexual assault, beating, physical and emotional abuse of women were reported every day, it would force us to see that it’s not the “psychopaths” doing it but fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, boyfriends i.e. ordinary men who are violent vs women
