@katrinatraver but when it's *not true*, as with Rodger, whose motivations were based on v.popular ideas about masculinity, that's a problem
@katrinatraver monstering Elliot Rodger is part of the upholding of that lack of self-examination.

@chaosprime Just because we call this guy a monster doesn't mitigate anything. My point is, his views are not as common as you think.... -
@katrinatraver i find them quite common. why is it so important to preserve men from having to examine their own attitudes? -
@chaosprime Why question to you is, what makes you think men don't. Elliot Rodgers is not the model for all men. -
@katrinatraver a major thing that makes me think men don't is the INTENSE PUSHBACK against any suggestion that they do so. -
@katrinatraver i mean, really, you're pushing back on this because ALL MEN are already doing JUST FINE at self-examination? really? -
@chaosprime " Not all men". See how that statement can work two ways? -
@katrinatraver still seems to be working just one way: justifying complacency. -
@chaosprime So ALL MEN are bad then? How do you expect to get treated better if you don't expect them do so? - 5 more replies
