Proposal for Misogyny Section I did this after it was raised in the POV dispute discussion Just my attempt to help out Misogyny The incident informed discussions about broader issues of misogyny and gendered violence 110 111 Rodger is generally described as misogynistic because he expressed extreme anger toward women 113 114 115 116 and said online in postings and YouTube videos that he intended to punish women for denying him sex and men who had access to sex with women But Rodger killed more men than women This led to discussion about the role of misogyny and gender in the killings Mary Elizabeth Williams a staff writer for Salon disagreed with a not so subtle insinuation in certain news coverage that one possible cause of male aggression is a lack of female sexual acquiescence 117 Amanda Hess writing for Slate argued that even though Rodger killed more men than women his motivations were still misogynistic because his reason for attacking the men for stealing women he felt entitled to 113 Writing for Reason Cathy Young countered that that seems like a good example of stretching the concept of misogyny into meaninglessness or turning it into unfalsifiable quasi religious dogma and noted Rodger also wrote many hateful messages about other men 118 Chris Ferguson a psychologist writing in Time argued that laying the blame on misogynistic culture glosses over how Rodger was one particular mentally disturbed man 123 Debate over the role of misogyny in the incident led to a rise in the use of the notallmen hashtag to express distance and disapproval of Rodger s extreme views toward women Others objected to the use of the hashtag as threatening to divert the discussion away from the subject of misogyny 112 124 125 Hence the creation of hashtag YesAllWomen on May 24 to assert that regardless of what proportion of mean act toward women in a manner consistent with Rodgers all or most women experience such treatment from men at various points in their lives 126 127 124 Factually according to his manifesto Rodger intention was to kill the people inside a sorority house where the targets were largely female 121 Since he was not able to gain access to the sorority he then sought out victims in less gender specific locations 122 My concept here was to strip it down make it more facty and clarify at the top what the debate is about I think we should point to notallmen and yesallwomen but they have their own pages so we don t have to replay the whole debate about them Same with the first paragraph perhaps we should link to a page discussing debates over misogyny but we don t have to lay out the entire misogyny debate here just because this incident was one small part of that debate Hope this was helpful
