When will we realise that misogyny and violence against women is often a catalyst for further acts of mass violence

Misogyny? Or exasperation at the misandry perpetuated by the president. Not being represented and becoming radicalised in a desperate hour need. Identity politics is polarizing the west and needs to stop for the sake of cohesion.

Fucking jesus where to start. Yes, fucking misogyny. Stephen Paddock, Omar Mateen, Nicholas Cruz - all recent mass killers with alleged domestic abuse linked to them. & your empathy falls on the side of the poor, unrepresented soul who decides to get in a van and mow people down?

And your 'railing against identity politics' is my 'sit on my fucking hands because I'm perfectly comfortable with the status quo'. You do you but don't think you're gonna change my mind. All you'll do is piss me off further.

I never said do nothing. People need to be listened to. Their concerns need to be heard before they get desperate and turn to extreem measures. Irrelevant of race or belief. Identity politics silence debate and lead to extreme ways to get a voice heard.

White supremacist is an identity. MRA is an identity. And so is Incel. Some people seem to find it easier to advocate for listening to some identities more than others. Like I said, you do you.

And these extreme groups need to be engaged the most. To debate and work with them to change their views to a more moderate standpoint.
