4. We're still a sexist, misogynistic nation, too.

But the girls and young women who talked [w/the killer] online [...] rarely reported him. His threats seemed too vague, [...] One teen who reported [him on]Yubo said nothing happened as a result.

Some also suspected this was just how teen boys talked on the Internet these days — a blend of rage and misogyny so predictable they could barely tell each one apart. One girl, discussing moments when he had been creepy and threatening, said that was just “how online is.”


If girls didn't respond like he wanted, he'd threatened rape or murder, then laugh it off.

Open misogyny, belittling, verbal debasement, and gaslighting.
American men are allowed to have an abuser mindset. American Conservative men are masters of deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.

The Internet is rife with incel anti women hatred. AND OUR GIRLS EXPECT THIS.

This has to change, too. Hate speech is violence.
