        If we substituted "men" for "Muslims" perpetrating daily attacks & weekly murders, substituted "not-Muslims" for "women" as their victims, it would be terrorism. But victimisation of women by men that kills & injures 1000s per year, due to ideology that women are inferior, isn't?pic.twitter.com/X33wAyF6Lq

        This is not the point. The point is that progressive feminists should be extremely wary of deploying legal language that has been responsible for a vast array of social othering, exclusion and discrimination on the basic of race, religion, politics, etc.

        How then do we elevate the seriousness of violence against women to that of terrorism, in public opinion and policy? eg. In 2015 there were no terrorist incidents in Canada, but family violence was 25% of crime. Overall terrorist incidents since 2014 ratio to VAW = minisculepic.twitter.com/nXz2wFpWi1

        We SHOULDN’T. That’s the point. We don’t need the harshest and most problematic arm of the criminal law/war on terror to address systemic misogyny. #carceralfeminism

        Ok, I was off base. Not advocating a "war on terror" approach for "terrorists" (as legally defined) OR men who terrorise & kill women every day. But the same reasons why terrorising women is so prevalent, eg. gender inequality = the same reasons "terrorism" is considered "worse".

        What's next, toxic masculinity is misogyny, so toxically masculine killings of men (which are statistically prevalent and more public) are gender terrorism, seeking to maintain and/or reestablish patriarchy and the submission of women? Interesting, duels were terrorism.

        (Your take was sensible, Heidi. - Side note, were any men killed in that incident? And do "incels" hate men who are good with the ladies?)

        Yes there were men killed. We really only have cursory information st this point about Minassian’s motives... basically his pre-attack pro-incel FB post...
