Utøya vs. Paris

So, I asked this a bit more polemically in GD, but I'm curious for people's thoughts here.

77 people died in an explicitly anti-feminist massacre not too long ago in Norway. I suppose Islam is (perhaps wrongly) reified in a way that anti-feminism isn't (though try telling that to the Norwegian students). I'm sure I'm just the naive male here, but is this comparison really impossible to make for people?

over image. i contend that no one would murder, and allow criminal system to deal with issue. i really did not take the question seriously. my bad. i guess we were really suppose to say why we would murder.

but. i said.

this this and this

lead to murder. and it was feminist images. i absolutely see a connection on the ugly being the cause of womens deaths. that is important to me. i see the magazine generating hate. the same that is done with women. i saw deaths. always wrong. i see women like me and others on du being reduced to rape and death, because we challenge this shit. women on line being chased from their home, with their family, because someone threatens to murder them because they said something. nowhere will i condone speech to death.

i find this part of the issue very interesting. now in GD we are being told we are not allowed to address this. that means we condone violence and murder.

it is a very fluid argument and cannot be real rigid in thinking. it is a very huge issue we live today. what we are brainwashing our kids with. ourselves. that is affecting our behaviors.
