      Just a reminder that furthering narratives about sad tragic loners who can't get women to fuck them and so go out & kill... is unhelpful. It's attacking women's right to control their own bodies and especially, to protect ourselves.

      Women who get a bad feeling about a guy tend to stay away. Guys who cross boundaries, who don't respect women's space or time, who use abusive or misogynistic speech are guys that women learn to stay away from.

      Hanging around those guys is potentially dangerous. People figure that out, and stay away. If you're pushing the narrative "if only someone had been nice to him/fucked him" you're blaming people for protecting themselves. Please don't do that.

      The sooner we start paying attention to MRA/PUA/"incel" atttitudes as warning signs, the better. The sooner we stop treating those as harmless eccentricities or "normal" male ideas, the better.

          A lot of people feel lonely and would rather not be celibate at some point in their lives. But not all of them come to resent an entire gender(s) because of it. So let's keep the focus on these attitudes--not on women who keep away from potentially violent men. /fin

          I would be curious to see the history of all of this once we have perspective, just to see how this idea/level of entitlement became so prevalent and actionable to the point of mass shootings
