The bigots always target women first...
The Mehdi Hasan Show
@MehdiHasanShow
An armed man killed 8 people, including 6 women of Asian descent, in 3 Georgia spas, but the police say that this attack was *not* racially motivated.
Stephanie Cho of @AAAJ_Atlanta does not believe that for a second. Listen to what she tells @mehdirhasan:
The twofer that women of colour have to endure on a daily basis.
For the utter horror show that is the right wing in America Male Whiteness & Patriarchy clasp each other tightly as they hate just cause they can, assault just cause they can, harass just cause they can, murder just cause they can.
And they get away with it over and over and inevitably it escalates to extreme violence, because in this white nationalist ethno centric environment they are never radicalised far right white supremacist terrorists, they always are a lone wolf. *Rolls Eye* And in this particular case sexualising the victims... they made me do it cause they turned me into a sex addict... stereotypical nasty that needs to do one. That shit is just another layering of the racism and hate that led to this mass shooting in the first place.

(5,462 posts)I think that a lot of them, if not most probably do have / have had sex. The chief traits they all share are misogyny and sociopathic tendencies.
If an incel had sex, they would still continue being an incel (in the sense of belonging to that subculture). They could have sex every day, and still be part of that subculture. Their chief identifying traits are their severe mental illness, and their anti-social attitudes, imo.

(11,438 posts)Figliuzzi is a former FBI assistant director for counterterrorism. He said these were hate crimes and brought up the fact President Obama had added women to the statute to be protected. Misogyny is so deeply ingrained in every culture in the world, too many people never even see it.

(80,700 posts)Perhaps they assume its easier to get away with - because its just women.
The whole second-class citizen thing. Except worse. Some men see women as mere possessions - to toy with and then dispose of.

(58,785 posts)Just sayin'. Women are the majority who, when discussing bigotry, are often tacked on to a long list of minorities for a reason. And the biggest reason for that is bigotry against women.

(2,440 posts)The cop who tried to take over the press conference from the people of color also is a bigot against Asian people, gave the murderer a clean bill of health that he didn't think bias against Asians was part of the motive. Meanwhile the murderer first went to Young's Asian spa, then drove 27 miles to his next Asian spa so...

(54,057 posts)"Honor killings," an obscene expression in itself, kill many women in Islamic families here in Europe, and I can only imagine what the incidence is in countries where the culture is dominant.

(27,544 posts)Because the media would rather do a deep dive into anti-Asian racism than an expose of misogyny in the Southern Baptist Church and offshoots.
I also caution that the murderer may have been INCEL, or INCEL adjacent. There have been numerous cases where police and prosecutors have tried to hide that type of stochastic terror.
