it is okay guys, it isn't as if rape culture exists or anything...

yeah this is actually a pretty perfect example of rape culture for those arguing that it doesn't exist.

Why didn't this guy just hire a prostitute?

If sweet, innocent opebo were still here, he would be explaining to us how this could only ever happen in the anti-prostitution Bad Place. Sad

Yeah, his treatise is a great read. Awful, obviously, but very interesting.

Leave it to Daily Kos to jump on this as an example of "white privilege."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/05/24/1301736/--The-True-Alpha-Male-Elliot-Rodger-and-Aggrieved-White-Male-Entitlement-Syndrome#

Never mind that Rodger was biracial. Then again so was George Zimmermann. I guess using a gun makes the white half cancel out the non-white half.

He was white:

Right, the gun humpers need to have their deadly weapons. Can't inject some sense into matters, even after even more people get murdered in cold blood. Their Second Amendment fundamentalist ideology is more important than the right for people to live their lives without getting shot by some coward.

Honestly, I think in this particular case I'm more inclined to lay blame at the feet of the toxic MRA/PUA "culture" than guns.

...

Also, a friend of mine wrote this really powerful reaction in the Daily Beast that everyone ought to read.  Kind of long, and maybe you don't think you care about the main thesis of the article (which, roughly, is that the f**ked-up portrayal of women as "prizes" in nerd culture, well, f**ks us all up), but, please, read it anyway.

I guess I expect the reaction from most quarters here to be dismissive and disappointing, but whatever.  Sometimes sh*t just needs to be said anyway.

Yeah I read that on the subway yesterday. Really great article.
