He killed more men than women, so he hated men more. He had a whole list of grievances along with his hatred for women = those are equally important. Yes not being able to win the lottery is just as important. Being refused to go on an Amusement park ride has just as much weight in his murderous rampage. Completely ignoring he hated the men because women would have sex with them and not him.

The guy was evil and driven by hate.

Ultimately all of that is crap. It was, as always, just a lone sociopath doing what sociopaths do. The guy was evil and driven by hate. His excuse is as relevant as the excuses offered by passionate Nazis, it's not worthy of discussion. = because his motivation was hatred of women it is not important to discuss.

I'm not disputing that he hated women. He clearly did. But he also hated men who were sexually active. He was a crazy nutjob, not the posterboy for anti-misogyny. = someone doesn't know what misogyny means. More like redefines it to mean something other than hatred of women.

So many more on just those 2 threads alone. Every excuse is trotted out to diminish his hatred of women as the root cause.
