Also worth keeping a lid on reactions that would have you believe it's anything more than an extreme fringe subculture and not an organized terror movement.

I don't think it's a terrorist movement, it's not organised like that, but I do think the ideas are widely shared. A lot of women have been warning about this sort of thing building momentum on the internet for a long time, with things such as "Gamergate"
-
It's a name given to something which was nameless but widely established, that so many men see themselves as entitled to women. I hadn't actually realised the links to the Toronto attack
-
Widely shared is pretty difficult to establish, and it's worrying how quickly everyones put into buckets. There is no doubt in my mind that prominent left wing journalist have capitalized on this to link moderate voices (Joradan Peterson etc) into an unknown internet subculture
-
It's certainly difficult to quantify, but to me it's pretty deep rooted in our society that women are objectified and portrayed as a goal. It's easy to see why something like that at a casual level validates the idea of the extremists.
-
Jordan Peterson isn't one of them, it's unfortunate they cling to him, but I do find some of the things he shares to reinforce those extreme points of view.

Aye, totally, it's just the idea of that becoming an identity that is fucked up. They've been hating women for a long time, now they're doing it together, and have an identity.

Also absolute hacks using a fucking horrific event as an opportunity to retweet propaganda articles equating anyone who is critical of third wave feminism into the same bucket as some 4chan spastic. Legit don't know how they sleep at night
