In 2010, there were 8 school shootings in the US.
In 2011, there were 10.
In 2012, there were 14.
In 2013? 28.
In the first half of 2014 alone, we have already suffered 38 school shootings.
If that doesn’t horrify you, then I don’t know what would.
Elliot Rodger killed 7 people in a drive-by shooting, vowing to “kill every blonde slut I see” because women rebuffed his advances and he’s still a virgin at age 22. This is what patriarchy looks like, this is what violence against women looks like, this is what male entitlement looks like, and this is why women need feminism.
Men so adamantly believe they are entitled to sex that they will blame women for their short comings instead of looking at who they are. Women’s body are not seen as are own, we belong to men and we have no agency over our choices. A women expressing her right to say “no” to a man’s sexual advances is a blow to his ego and therefore an act of violence, an act that men believe should be punished with equal if not more violence. Turning a man down should not cost us our lives, but it does.
To the feminists that are screaming patriarchy at the dude who killed 7 people, it has NOTHING to do with “male entitlement” or anything like that. It ONLY has to do with MENTAL ILLNESS
how fucking dare you give a violent murderer a free pass and write off his life choices as mental illness
especially when people who have mental illnesses are overwhelmingly VICTIMS not PERPETRATORS of violence
how actually fucking dare you
how dare you ignore the fact that he wrote and 141 PAGE MANIFESTO about his hatred for women and the fact that was going to “punish” us
