      So it's been a few days since the #TorontoAttack + it's incredibly important to give the space + time to all those affected. But it's also important to use whatever feelings you have - grief, anger, confusion, frustration, whatever - to motivate learning + action.

      At the absolute minimum, you need to educate yourself on what happened, why it happened + why, sadly, it could happen again.

      For extra extra extra credit (re: bare minimum) start with your own research online before reaching out to friends, family + your friendly neighbourhood feminists to educate you.

      But there's a problem here: when these attacks happen, media is totally saturated with all kinds of reports + think pieces. And it's overwhelming! So I wanted to share what I have referenced again + again this week.

      Maddie Alvarez Retweeted Arshy Mann

      Journalist @ArshyMann put together an excellent, comprehensive thread on the "manosphere" online - a great reference point if you're unfamiliar with the term "incel"https://twitter.com/ArshyMann/status/988818797086871558 …

      Maddie Alvarez added,

      Arshy MannVerified account @ArshyMann
      For the past little while, I've been working on a piece about Toronto's relationship to the alt-right, especially the "manosphere." Unfortunately that research has become relevant. I'm going to share as much as I can here for people who may not be familiar with these movements.

          Activist + educator @JulieSLalonde has a timeline that should be required reading for anyone unsure of how misogyny manifests itself in our actions, words + mediahttps://twitter.com/JulieSLalonde/status/989132934169870341 …

          In all likelihood, you've heard women around you mention how tiring it is to educate people on why misogyny is real + dangerous, in their personal lives + to informational authorities, like the media. @ChurchCarlton lays it out for you: https://twitter.com/ChurchCarlton/status/988952605123645440 …

          Maddie Alvarez Retweeted Lux “Buy My Book!” Alptraum

          Another important thread from @LuxAlptraum, with ties to E. Rodger's case + the idea that women owe men intimacy in the name of public safety.https://twitter.com/LuxAlptraum/status/989160359985602560 …

          Maddie Alvarez added,

          Lux “Buy My Book!” Alptraum @LuxAlptraum
          Every time I read about violent, self righteous incels I get furious, because *plenty of women spend their lives feeling unfuckable*, but instead of being taught that the world owes them sex they're taught to think they're just worthless people.

          I feel like people laugh a lot about the basement dwelling dudes who believe this anti-woman stuff, but it's worth remembering that this ideology kills people. https://twitter.com/mattbraga/status/988785784789577729 …

          Maddie Alvarez Retweeted Andray

          Okay, back on this with recent work: @andraydomise connects the dots of so many incel movements by involving voices that we don't seek often enough: reformed pick-up artists, a trans woman + former incel subscriber, sex workers + others:https://twitter.com/andraydomise/status/994254305593966593 …

          “You’ve been told you deserve things all your life, and when you can’t have it...you fight back. They’ve taken that and applied it to the economy of sex, love, and affection."
