Toxic

Ep. 36: What Elliot Rodger Did Was Misogynistic Terrorism


Listen Later

In 2014, a 22-year-old man reached the height of violent male entitlement and decided to go on a killing spree because women weren't giving him the sex, even after he put on his best creepy smile to try and flirt. Elliot Rodger killed six individuals and injured 14 more before taking his own life. Jenna and Amanda delve into how this isn't a gun-control problem, this is a toxic masculinity problem. How even without his 600 rounds of ammunition, Rodger would have still murdered men and women who he felt wronged him because women's bodies were owed to him. Before that, we talk about why Chrystul Kizer deserves her freedom after escaping child sexual abuse and human sex trafficking. A real upper of an episode for this Monday, we know. Don't worry, before Christmas, we'll make an episode about happy things, we promise.
