I'm going to try to avoid this subject and thinking about it any more because I can already feel it starting to ruin my whole day. This world is so sad. :<
It sounds like he was really really misogynistic and placed too much value on sex.
I do think that we should try to understand why people do things like this so we can hopefully stop it from happening as much. It sounds like he was really misogynist. And maybe he didn't just place so much value on sex and degrade others because he was selfish, but because society and hegemonic masculinity pressured him into thinking that he was supposed to have sex by a certain age.
I feel like many men are taught that they need to have sex for other people to give them respect and love. I don't think that so many people would think that having sex is this important if they didn't think it would make them loved. Which makes misogyny and acting predatory worse.
Hegemonic masculinity must have contributed to him becoming so horrible. And worse, a lot of people are reacting to this by doing the same horrible sorts of behavior he did in some ways. Calling him, an awful misogynist, a "pussy", comparing him to a woman. Or comparing him to a homosexual.
I feel like misogynist, homophobic and femmephobic behavior like that is what creates people with such terrible misogynistic ideas as him. Just labeling someone as "crazy" is ableist and doesn't help anything. He was someone who lived in a patriarchal society and believed in its values.
I should stop thinking about this because this is going to make me really depressed. I'm so sad that people died. I'm so sad that he was led to be an awful misogynist who wanted to kill innocent people. I'm so sad that people are responding to what he did by reinforcing misogyny and behavior that probably led to him becoming the person that he did.
