Guns Don't Kill Women. Male Entitlement Kills Women.

Yesterday, 21-year-old Kelsey Annese and 24-year-old Matthew Hutchinson were murdered by former student Colin Kingston, who had previously dated Annese.

After slipping into the home where Annese lived and stabbing both her and Hutchinson to death, Kingston called his father to say that he had harmed Annese and was considering killing himself. The father called 911, but by the time authorities arrived, Kingston had killed himself.
The victims were likely asleep at the time of the attack, as there was no sign of struggle. Annese was the captain of the Geneseo basketball team; Hutchinson played on the school hockey team and served as a volunteer firefighter. 

This is a tragic, senseless loss of life. And it reflects a larger problem in society. Who read about this double homicide and didn't think about this:

Or this (which I recently posted in 6 Things Men Think They Know About Women... That Are Totally Wrong):
Or, most chillingly, this:
Picture
Please note: in the wake of his mass murder of innocent young people of both genders, a Facebook fan page was erected in his honor, and online forums praised his actions against the "female species."

Louis C.K. is right. There is no greater threat to women... than men. Due largely to the weird, pervasive sense of male entitlement to women.

Even men who aren't necessarily going to go shoot and stab women to death for the crime of not wanting to have sex with them display this sense of entitlement. Every time you hear some dude whine about the "friend zone," you are witnessing male entitlement to women. Because, as it turns out, no! Just because you spent time with me or did something nice for me, does not mean I owe you something sexual or romantic.

​From: Dear Dudes: If You Think Women Are The Problem... YOU Are The Problem.
Another thing to watch out for? Guys who complain that they can't get a girl because they're "nice guys." If you call yourself a "nice guy," this says one of two things about you:

1) You are, in fact, a boring guy. "Nice" doesn't mean shit. I have never, ever, EVER dated someone because he was "nice." It's, like, a very basic prerequisite of dating someone. But it's not WHY you date someone. You date someone because he is brilliant, astonishing, silly and romantic. You date someone because he is sexy, compassionate, empathetic and fun. But, trust me. No one has EVER dated someone because they were "nice." Perhaps if you feel no one will date you "because you're a nice guy," the problem is that you have nothing else to offer but niceness. 
Picture
2) You are, in fact, not a nice guy. Your kindness is not authentic. It is a ploy to get (or guilt, or manipulate) sex out of women.
Picture

THIS is the EXACT mentality that drives people like Kingston to murder women for rejecting them.

Guns are not the problem, as no gun was used in these murders. Obviously, different gun control laws could reduce the number of murders that happen at the hands of jealous, entitled psychos. But it would not eliminate them.

This isn't to say that guns are not a problem -- particularly for women. According to Futures Without Violence:
  • 94% of female murder victims killed by men are killed by a man they knew. In other words, females are 16 times as likely to be killed by a male acquaintance than by a male stranger.
  • In 2010, 1,017 women, almost three a day, were killed by their intimate partners.
  • Of females killed by men with a firearm, more than two-thirds were killed by their intimate partners.
  • In 2010, 52 percent of female homicide victims killed by men were shot and killed with a gun. Female intimate partners are more likely to be murdered with a firearm than all other means combined.
  • Access to firearms increases risk of intimate partner femicide more than five times. 

But, again, guns are clearly not the problem.

Detecting mental illness isn't the problem, either -- in the case of Elliot Rodger, there were warning signs. That guy was clearly sick and fucked up. But most of the time, these murderers aren't. Friends and family always tell the media, "He is the last person I would have expected to do this!" Or, in the case of Colin Kingston's basketball coach, ""He was one of my favorite kids... I loved his attitude... I really liked him a lot. He was one of my favorites, easily." 

Moreover, research shows that the vast majority of people who are violent do not suffer from (or have not been diagnosed with) mental illnesses (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). However, as I wrote in my secret, unpublished blog post, "Mental Illness is, Like, Totally Trendy," the way our pain and dysfunction manifests itself is often based on social and cultural cues. 

Like, you know how we don't sit in ashes when we're sad anymore? And cutting and burning have largely replaced pulling out your hair? It's because there is a similar underlying pain/neurological mechanism... but our emotional response is learned from the world around us. 

The example I often give is this:


I went to Phillips Exeter, a very competitive boarding school in New England. I absolutely loved the experience -- but there were definitely stressful times. And very occasionally, I found myself thinking...

"I need a cigarette."

For context, I had never, have never, and will never smoke a cigarette.  Which is why, immediately after having this strange thought, I'd think, 

"EW! Why would I even think that? Smoking is so gross!"

And I realized.. it was social learning. I'd seen on TV that smoking is a thing people do when they feel stress. So some small part of me was like, stress = solved by smoking.

Just like men learn from movies and TV that if they are "nice" to a girl, she will eventually have sex with him. 

That if the girl you find attractive is dating someone else, that guy is an "asshole." (See also: Cal from Titanic, Zack "Sack" from Wedding Crashers, Andy from Wet Hot American Summer.)

And, via hateful blogs and forums on the "manosphere," they acquire antoginistic attitudes about women, sex and dating. Their core basic philosophy, in the words of the Washington Post, rests on two principles:
1) feminism has overrun/corrupted modern culture, in violation of nature/biology/inherent gender differences
​2) men can best seduce women (slash, save society in general) by embracing a super-dominant, uber-masculine gender role, forcing ladies to fall into step behind them.
They're the same pushy, manipulative "pickup artists" who use pathetic little "tactics" like "negging" (insulting a girl to shake up her confidence and "get her to seek your approval. This one guy tried to neg me once by telling me I was a bad singer, so I told him, "Fuck you. Give me back my frisbee, and never talk to me again." #BeRude). They don't see women as autonomous people, with preferences and values, but as objects to be conquered. 

The "manosphere" is bad enough that the Southern Poverty Law Center, which identifies hate groups, even went so far as to publish a report on it in 2012. 

This culture of entitlement, as much as guns and mental illness, is why Kelsey Annese and Matthew Hutchinson are dead.

Right now, in the wake of the mass attacks against women that were perpetuated by migrants and refugees in Cologne, there is this weird battle going on between the Red Tribe and the Blue Tribe. Blue Tribe members ignorantly and preposterously claiming that "all rape is the same," and we should treat it the same way, whether it was committed by a white guy at a Frat party against a girl who was sort of consenting, but also a little too drunk to give consent... or a gang of migrants from a misogynistic culture in which there is no law against spousal or statutory rape, and sexually assaulting women in public is seen as a fun game.

This is obviously wrong. Anyone who's taken more than, say, a week of introductory psychology should know that cultural differences matter -- and if you want to prevent a negative social behavior, you need to fully understand the culture and motivations behind it. White guys at frat parties don't rape with the same frequency, or for the same reasons, or under the same circumstances, as brown guys who don't understand western culture. To pretend otherwise is beyond ignorant.

(Not to mention: back in September, the Huffington Post reported that female refugees, too, are afraid of male refugees. Many reported being attacked and raped. Others report waking to find strange men staring at them. Several aid organizations wrote in a letter to female politicians in the Hessian parliament, 

"Women report that they, as well as their children, have been raped or sexually assaulted. Many women sleep in their regular clothes. Many women report that they won't go to the restroom at night because of the many reports of assault and rape in, on the way to, the facilities. Even during the day, walking through the camp is a terrifying situation for many women.")
Picture
Completely stupid.

However, we've also got the Red Tribe claiming that "rape culture didn't exist in the Western world until the migrants imported it." This is also stupidly wrong. Have we already forgotten about Elliot Rodger and his six victims? Have we already forgotten about basketball captain and student-athlete Kelsey Annese? Have we already forgotten about the 
​college rape epidemic in America? The left makes a good point about the right: "Why do you only care about women's rights when their attackers are brown?"

Ending violence against women will be difficult. But one thing we can all do, starting right now, is reject the notion of the "friendzone" and the "nice guy." Reject the notion of being a "pickup artist." Respect that women are big girls who can make their own choices about who they date and when to have sex -- rejection can be painful, but it's a natural part of life. Talk about consent. Care about consent. Be direct about your intentions. 

And never, ever, ever assume a woman owes a man something, just because he smiled at her/demanded that she smile at him/bought her a drink/dated her/married her.

I agree and enjoy reading a lot of what you write, but this essay annoys me because it seems to ignore the key question:

A guy feels he is not getting laid often enough. He has many choices of what to do, for example, study up on PUA courtship techniques, study up on non-PUA courtship techniques (learn to be more "brilliant, astonishing, silly and romantic, sexy, compassionate, empathetic and fun" as you say), hedge his bets and study up on both, or find and join subcultures that have more women interested in casual sex. Instead, he chooses murder, sometimes mass murder. The key question is, why?

As in your essay, let's assume it's usually not mental illness. Therefore, why is a sane, non-delusional individual logically choosing (mass) murder as his rational best course of action in the face of all other options available to him? (Yes, this is a frightening question.)

Only after answering this question does it seem appropriate to propose solutions, and proposed solutions should be related back to one's answer to this key question.

I am of the opinion that censorship of entertainment will not be effective in changing people's attitudes: entertainment sources, competing in a market against each other for people's attention, provide content that people already want to consume; that is, their attitudes have already been set before consuming the entertainment. I may not be completely right about this, but I hope you will agree that "people's preferences shape entertainment" is a fairly strong effect, meaning there is still another mechanism other than entertainment which is shaping people's preferences.

If a guy isn't getting laid enough, and he wants to get laid more, his best bet -- the best way to get not just more, but also BETTER, sex -- is to get a girlfriend. That's the problem with PUA techniques. Not only are they sexist, objectifying and manipulative... but they don't really teach you how to make someone like and trust you. They teach you how to get people who don't want to hook up with you to hook up with you. But how is the woman going to feel about you after a somewhat unwanted sexual encounter? Not very good. She won't want to be alone with you again. The skills you need to attract a woman to you are different from the skills you need to get someone to sleep with you. That's why I think developing skills like confidence, charisma, presence, mindfulness, and consideration are a much better way to get women to like you. (The book I always recommend is The Charisma Myth, because it teaches so many different skills that apply equally to professional and social situations: http://goo.gl/p52mCw)

I'm not saying that mental illness plays no part in it. It is definitely *A* problem -- but, like guns, it's not THE problem. I think there is definitely an insane level of desperation, loneliness, or rage in people who murder. The point I was trying to make is that the way our pain manifests itself -- the actions, thoughts and attributions -- are based on learned social cues. This is true whether you're a full-on sociopath or a regular heartbroken dude.

I never advocated for censorship of any films -- I simply pointed out that you can very visibly see the connection between some films and male entitlement. And it's not even necessarily because movie writers hate women. A lot of the time, it's just lazy. As a viewer, I get very anxious when a woman is with one sweet, awesome guy, but then she meets another sweet, awesome guy. I find myself thinking, "I'm going to be unhappy about her decision, either way." A great example of this is in the Netflix original Jane the Virgin. One quick and easy solution to the problem of upsetting your viewers and not making your protagonist look fickle/mean/heartless/bad... is to make the original boyfriend an asshole. Just like female tropes (e.g., the manic pixie dream girl) aren't always born of sexism, but of laziness (you don't have time to develop every supporting character, right?).

The problem is when we let these screenwriting heuristics influence our attitudes about real life. In real life, breaking up is never as easy as realizing your fiance has secretly been an asshole this whole time, and you should really be with the other "nice" guy. It's just easier to watch.

Yes, I believe that having more and better female characters in movies is a great move, and will hopefully help battle male entitlement. I'm definitely pleased that the Academy is doing its big diversity thing.

But there are tons of other ways you could fight male entitlement. Like, you know what I think would be really cool? Establishing a night club with some male entitlement-fighting name, Like Safe Word or Sadie's (get it? Like Sadie Hawkins?). Then have a VERY clear set of rules and social norms for this club, like:

- Men may ask women to dance once, and only once.
- If a woman says it's "girls' night," the guy has to back off.
- Do not touch people without asking first.
- Women initiate dancing and touching.

Or whatever.

Personally, men and women can both take action by calling out "nice guys" who use words like "friendzoned." We can be honest with our friends and ourselves about why we're not having the success we want, sexually or romantically. For example, I have a friend who started running and lifting weights because he decided, "I'm pretty short, and I don't have any muscles. If I want more women to find me attractive, I should work on my physical fitness." That was a very honest assessment of his situation, and I hope it works out for him.

Or, for another example. A few months ago, I gently told one of my guy friends, "I think the reason she didn't like you was because you touched her, like, two seconds after you started talking. Women find that alarming."

I told another friend, "Listen. This girl is really pretty and spunky and fun. If you're serious about her, I think you should hold off on trying to kiss her. It will send a powerful signal that you like HER, not her body."

Honesty can hurt, and it's probably a sometimes food. But if you think it will help your friends in the long run, it's probably worth it, right?

I'll start the critism here

>Louis C.K. is right. There is no greater threat to women... than men. Due largely to the weird, pervasive sense of male entitlement to women.

No pretty sure heart disease, also using Elliot Rodger to talk about how male entitlement [sic] is dangerous to women when if you read his manifesto its clear he hated every one, not just women. In fact most of the people he killed were.... with a knife. You don't kill people with a knife in such personal manner unless you really really hate them because it such a personal way to do it compared to a gun.

Also clear from his writings was profound sense loneliness, autism and narcissism. this was a dude that just didn't get people or how they worked and was desperate turned disenchanted turned spiteful.

also as per the zieghtgiest of the article if hes was so entitle to women why do we have mass shooter instead of mass rapist? No there were other issues at work here out side the scope of this response.

> Every time you hear some dude whine about the "friend zone," you are witnessing male entitlement to women

No, here whats with 'the friendzone': Yes it is a box of a dude on creation in most case some outliars of women leading a dude on exist but in most cases its a self made box. What dude 'whining' about the friend zone doing are having in a lot cases is a healthy reaction to rejection. So unless you are going to argue men aren't entitle to there own emotional state you have no argument. I mean even the bigots over at red pill wives don't aregue aren't entitled to have feelings (they jsut dotn want men to have 'feminine feelings' ever).

IME there are two different friendzone camps A) the majority of dude who got into a social group or became friends with a chick with ambigous intentions (to both them and the chick) feels develop, eventually askes the chick out get shot down. quietly goes and accepts the rejection or complains to gu y friend and gets it off his chest. (unless you are still keen on policing mens emotions that i am sure he could deal with his emotions in male the time honored tradition of killing him self for fear of offended a woman with male emotional pain).

> Guys who complain that they can't get a girl because they're "nice guys." If you call yourself a "nice guy," this says one of two things about you:

Side bar change the language, all you are gonna do is piss of guys that aren't who will think less of you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FeMRADebates/comments/4spk1k/most_of_the_anger_over_nice_guys_is_based_on/

https://www.reddit.com/r/FeMRADebates/comments/4swzv9/what_do_you_mean_when_you_say_nice_guy/

Nice guy set up a really strange paradox its not helpful and all you are going to do is piss off guys who aren't like that and encourage guys who are to go full asshole rather than reform.

But i do agree Nice guy^tm problems is they just offer niceness (and resource provisioning). similarly to a chick who who pretty much just has sex to offer or thinks she just has sex to offer. the time scale is different, and it has a lot to with attachment style. The nice guy^tm and the chick who has or thinks she has just sex to offer both are seeking validation. its codependency, its maladaptive.


>94% of female murder victims killed by men are killed by a man they knew. In other words, females are 16 times as likely to be killed by a male acquaintance than by a male stranger.

because most people who kill people they know? i mean who are YOU more likely to kill some one you know or just some rando on the street. it not some shocking revelation its what you would expect to see.

>Of females killed by men with a firearm, more than two-thirds were killed by their intimate partners.

given women on average do not engage in risky criminal activity at the rates men do, and given we are only looking women killed by men with guns it does surprise me that most of that was in an intimate setting given that women typical are more risk adverse across the board so would be at lesser risk to experience other forms violence or gun crime.

>In 2010, 52 percent of female homicide victims killed by men were shot and killed with a gun. Female intimate partners are more likely to be murdered with a firearm than all other means combined.

because men tend to favor mroe direct forms of action over all, most male suicides use permanent means (like guns). the use of a firearm suggest that its impulsive, in the heat of the moment. women tend to poison there intimate partner or kill them in there sleep, which implies degree of premeditation.

>Access to firearms increases risk of intimate partner femicide more than five times.

Homicide the word you are looking for is homicide. i really doubt they were killed for being women.

>Just like men learn from movies and TV that if they are "nice" to a girl, she will eventually have sex with him.

You caught me! If "biggest threat" to women is defined strictly as "biggest cause of death," then I exaggerated a little. The top causes of death in women are heart disease and cancer. But when you look at non-disease-related premature deaths in women, pretty sure men are a pretty big threat to women. When you expand that to include women who are assaulted, abused or raped, that threat gets even bigger.

What I found super gross and weird about Rodger's writing (among other things -- he was obviously troubled) was his sense of entitlement to women. E.g.,

"I was cast out and rejected, forced to endure an existence of loneliness and insignificance, all because the females of the human species were incapable of seeing the value in me."

Not to mention all the woe-is-me, "Nice Guy" bullshit, e.g.,

"The polite, kind gentleman doesn't win in the real world. The girls don't flock to the gentlemen. They flock to the alpha male."

And all his bitching about how girls "gave their sex" to cool guys, and withheld it from him. So pathetic.

His writing and youtube videos showed a very clear sense of entitlement to women.

Here's the thing: mental illness is, like, totally trendy. In that the underlying mechanisms of mental illness tend to stay the same across time, but the way people express their pain/anxiety/impulses is socially learned. Two people with the same (whatever) that Rodgers had could have had two very different outcomes, if one joined a hateful, anti-woman community, and the other joined... a basketball team? A support group? You know?


> What dude 'whining' about the friend zone doing are having in a lot cases is a healthy reaction to rejection.

This can be true. Some guys with no sense of entitlement use the phrase, because they're heard it used socially, to mean that a girl didn't like them.

Others use it to express resentment about a girl rejecting them -- even though they showed her basic human kindness! How dare she?

I'm obviously not keen on policing anyone's emotions. There are some very serious men's issues I've written about, and books I've highly recommended. But it's one thing to feel disappointed by a rejection, and quite another to believe someone "owed" you a date/kiss/whatever, just because you were "nice" to her.

> because most people who kill people they know? i mean who are YOU more likely to kill some one you know or just some rando on the street. it not some shocking revelation its what you would expect to see.

Didn't say it was a shocking revelation. Not to me. But if you've ever taken any psychology, you know that people are more afraid of dying of murder (which is rare) than a car accident. Fear is not rational. People often need a reality check. When women talk about how scary it is walking home at night, I'm just like, "Well, statistically, it's way safer than going to a frat party!"

>because men tend to favor mroe direct forms of action over all, most male suicides use permanent means (like guns). the use of a firearm suggest that its impulsive, in the heat of the moment. women tend to poison there intimate partner or kill them in there sleep, which implies degree of premeditation.

Show me the data on this. Show me the data that says women kill their partners in equal measure to males killing their partners.

>Homicide the word you are looking for is homicide

You think they would have been killed by their intimate partners if they'd been dudes? Femicide is the word I was looking for.

That said, I do support gun rights - in some sense or another (that's a whole different story). I just don't think women should buy guns for self- or home defense if they don't get a ton of good training. If they aren't 100% prepared to use the gun to take a life, they shouldn't have one. They're only putting themselves at risk.

>Just like men learn from movies and TV that if they are "nice" to a girl, she will eventually have sex with him.

Name a couple of movies in which the guy didn't get the girl. I'm sure a few exist... but that's not the typical story. People like a "happy" ending, and that's the one where the guy gets the girl.

>Name a couple of movies in which the guy didn't get the girl. I'm sure a few exist... but that's not the typical story. People like a "happy" ending, and that's the one where the guy gets the girl.

Name a few movie where the girl had to prove worth to the guy? not one where the girl fucked and needed to make amends but one where the guy didn't drop to his hand and ready to do any thing to climb any mountain in order to prove worth but in stead wait for the woman to prove hers beyond being a pretty face. I can think of one and the dude is portrayed as a heel turn good guy by the end. Not another teen movie.

that trope exist nto because men are entitle quite the opposite but that culture drill in to men that they have no inherent worth and most prove it first to be a member of society (a society which continue to find way to exclude men form being apart of). Then next to further prove that they are a worthy member of society they must find a woman or else they are not a real man. How tropes are there remove womanhood form woman? No matter what a woman does she is always and for ever a woman. a man can have his identity by pretty much any one. The notion that the dude via for some chick in movie are entitle is laughable. they are so obvious proving that they are worthy and dude what ever it take up and including getting them selves killed to do. that is like the oppisite of entitlement. in fact the male romantic fantasy isn't even to be fawn over by numerous women, no it to know that if you do X you can expect why result. where female romantic fantasies tend to revolve around her have in to navigate a romantic triangle or quadard to pick the best mate. now tell me again which one sounds entitled? the say how do i pick between all these quality mates or the own say man i just want know that my efforts will be reward.

you want to play who more entitled in the dating game that is two way street of unproductiveness.

Well thats good to many women don't own there own protection. and as with any fight or use of force it come down to two things training and will to use force. the latter can over come the former if the other person does not want to fight.


>You think they would have been killed by their intimate partners if they'd been dudes? Femicide is the word I was looking for.

look at state preshelter movement around spousal murder and violence. it was in rough parity something like 450 for men and women per year around 1950. then when the shelter movement started in the 60's something interesting happen.as more shelters became available for women the rate of spousal murder who were men drop significantly. the assumed reason is that the shelter movement provide a safety value for women so they could exit before they killed there husband in self defense or while they were sleeping using the batter woman's defense.

mean while the rate of spousal murder victim who were wive remains constant.

>Fear is not rational. People often need a reality check

may teach women that not every thing is out to get them? better yet teach them how to fight because it ridiculous to expect some to be there to save them at all times. And also open up opportunities for them to be the savior


>But it's one thing to feel disappointed by a rejection, and quite another to believe someone "owed" you a date/kiss/whatever, just because you were "nice" to her.

sure but surely there are better ways to handle guys bitching on the internet about unrequieted love. i mean most guy have to do the asking, they have to prove worth, and a lot times guys that complain about the friend zone had feel develop natural overtime. some of them may have gone in with the pure intention of just fucking sure. but that pretty retard strategy. you could just randomly ask 100 chick over the course of the week and have probably get laid like 5-15 times. if they just wanted sex faking friend ship is a pretty retarded way to go. so like when you say friendzone think about that time they really fell of this one chick that they were totally in to and got shot down. must guys suck it up

rogder ET al

he wasn;t entitle, quiet the oppisite.

If he were entitle specifically to sex and women why don't we have mass rapist, or at least a dude who hires escorts, i mean he had the money for it.

why did we get a mass murder instead? one who kill as many people with a knife as a gun? who killed three men with knife and 2 women and one man with gun?

no no entitlement doesn't being to make sense here.

He hated every one mroe sexually successful than him self. he hate men and women a like. he hate men who got laid for getting laid when he couldn;t and he hated women for not asking out. no really he never even asked a chick out, he died a kiss less virgin.

So then why? simple validation. sex was ancillary to the validation the affection of woman he desired or being desired by a woman would give him. thats not entitlement. in his case it a lot things but its not entitlement. from what i have seen he had both strong NPD tendencies (me first, lack of empathy for others), and strong co-dependency tendencies (had a deep need for women to fill wholes in him)

the common thread is not entitlement but validation. you don't write a manofesto likr he did if you not looking for validation.

now TBH he would probably killed people regardless of GF or getting laid in a similar fashion at some point. some thing like: no at work saw his genius, his coworker gots promoted faster with higher wages, ect.

so not great guy, one with many problems, but entitlement wasn't one them.

Safety has come a long distance through the years and one of the primary developments has been biometric safes. Biometric Safes are the recent innovation which has shown great advancements within the field of safety. Biometric expertise is used within these kinds of safes that recognizes the legal users of the safes. When biometric technical feature is integrated, it enhances the safety in the safes and helps it be right for keeping quite confidential papers and things.
