For me, social is good enough to qualify as terrorist (for instance, anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ attacks would fit). I'm less concerned with distinguishing between political and social except as an (interesting!) academic question.

Agree with you on this. But also think we’re in very early days of terrorism scholarship genuinely recognising, researching, critiquing & problematising misogyny (& related ideas) as a motivating factor for violent acts. (There are some great pieces already but more is needed)

Definitely.
