Trigger Warning: Violence, Scapegoating, Misogyny and a Creepy Little Weirdo

The Mass Murder Blame Game:

Elliot Rodger, Gunman in California Mass Shooting,
was influenced by the “Men’s Rights Movement”
— Will McLeod, Daily Kos

UCSB Shooter Elliot Rodger Posted
Racist Messages on ‘Puahate’ Website
— Matt Willstein, Mediaite

The Pick-Up Artist Community’s Predictable,
Horrible Response to a Mass Murder
— Amanda Hess, Slate

Elliot Rodger’s California shooting
spree: further proof that misogyny kills
— Jessica Valenti, Guardian (UK)

It is apparently very important to some people that the blame for Elliot Rodger’s crimes be generalized so that the murders in Isla Vista are not the sole responsibility of the Creepy Little Weirdo who perpetrated them, but rather are fitted seamlessly into the “War on Women” narrative that helped Obama win re-election in 2012.

Having stayed awake until 4 a.m. reading Elliot Rodger’s bizarre 141-page “manifesto,” however, I recognize his collectivist worldview, his envious obsession with “fairness” and especially his narcissistic sense of entitlement as typical of left-wing Millennials.

Yet there was nothing genuinely political — neither liberal nor conservative, neither Republican nor Democrat — about his twisted hatred: Crazy is not a political philosophy.

Nor can the NRA be blamed, as Andy at AOSHQ explains:

Love this L.A. Times headline: 7 dead in drive-by shootings near UC Santa Barbara
Of course one of the 7 was the assailant himself, and 3 of the 7 were stabbed, not shot. But other than that, it’s a faithful representation of what happened.
Twitchy has a nice rundown on 3 myths about this incident plus one more that are already running rampant. . . .
Like always, the left would love to tell you that passing one more perfect law would solve this, but they can’t because of that damned NRA. Out in the real world, it’s hard to see how anything they openly claim to want would’ve made a difference here. Of course, what they really want is a complete gun ban but they don’t have the balls to say it.

Leaving aside the predictable anti-gun rhetoric, however, let’s focus on the claim that Elliot Rodger was influenced by the “Men’s Rights Movement” or “pickup artists” (PUAs) or “misogyny” and ergo — to make the logical leap that the Left would have you make — we must embrace feminism, vote Democrat and fight the patriarchy.

This is a non sequitur: “Men’s Rights,” a movement chiefly concerned with the misfortunes suffered by men in divorce battles, is not a partisan cause; certainly the womanizing ways of “pickup artists” are contrary to the social conservatism of the Religious Right; and it is an extreme stretch to say that Elliot Rodger’s profoundly personal resentment of women can be generalized as a focus of feminist politics. The Creepy Little Weirdo was a minority of one, and if there are others like him out there . . . well, lock ’em up in the loony bin before it’s too late, I say.

Donald Douglas at American Power continues pushing back against the feminist narrative of Elliot Rodger’s crime, but what is fascinating is how the Creepy Little Weirdo’s rant mirrors and mimics feminism’s critique of heteronormative patriarchy. “Feminism’s War Against Nature,” as I have described it, shares Rodger’s hostility toward the normal patterns of female sexual behavior, e.g., the way in which women seek to make themselves “sex objects,” to attract the interest of traditionally masculine men — tall, muscular, assertive — whose high social status is largely a function of their successful dominant qualities.

Like so many radical feminists — Mary Daly, Andrea Dworkin, Dee Graham, Janice Raymond, et al. — Elliot Rodger was ill-suited to participate in that competition and, as a disgruntled spectator, he resented the winners in the Game of Love. He was short, skinny and socially awkward, and he hated romantically successful men just as much as he hated the women who rejected him. His attitude was very much like the fat, ugly and/or un-feminine women whose jargon-laden intellectual critiques of “patriarchy” are transparently a sour-grapes rationalization of their own unfortunate circumstances.

Here’s a clue: Go read the Creepy Little Weirdo’s “manifesto” and see if you find even one mention of feminism. (Hint: It’s not there.)

Whatever anyone may say of Elliot Rodger’s “misogyny,” he never articulated any opposition to feminism, per se. True, he viewed women strictly as sex objects, but in 141 pages of his rant, he never criticizes any feminist policy, never name-checks any feminist author, never manifests any awareness of feminist theory. Abortion rights? The “pay gap”? Nope, he never said a word about any of that.

What we do find in the Creepy Little Weirdo’s rant, however, is a phenomenon common among feminists, i.e., he’s crazy as hell. But don’t take my word for it. Page 128 of his “manifesto”:

To my extreme rage, I discovered that my sister now had a boyfriend, and that she had lost her virginity. She had casually “dated” boys in the past, but never to the serious extent that she did with this one. . . . He seemed like the typical obnoxious slob that most young girls are sexually attracted to. . . .
I eventually grew to hate him after I heard him having sex with my sister. I arrived at the house one day, my mother being at work, and heard the sounds of Samuel plunging his penis into my sister’s vagina through her closed room door, along with my sister’s moans. I stood there and listened to it all. . . . It reminded me of how pathetic I was, that at the age of twenty-two, I was still a virgin.

Creeptastic!

In a way, it’s too bad Elliot Rodger never paid attention to feminists. They had so much in common: “PIV is always rape, OK?”

“If you consider sexual desire and romantic love between men and women to be natural and healthy, you are not a feminist.”
— Robert Stacy McCain

While we, once again, have a story that calls our mental health care or lack thereof into question the Left struggles to make the tragedy fit some of their narratives. Sadly, our national propaganda outlets pick and choose which items see the light of day. When a black thug-life lesbian murders a white girl working her way through a state university in a ‘road rage’ killing the left makes sure it remains a local story.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2537689/Woman-shot-dead-college-student-terrified-friend-road-rage-dispute.htmlSo when feminists and others on the left talk about patriarchy I’m in complete disbelief. After all the media belongs to the Left and has the power to shape public opinion and governmental policy. That the media and the Left are trying to change the facts of this tragedy is, and should be, no surprise.

If we were going to generalize anything, it’s that —

1) the young man (to my mind) clearly had chronic schizophrenia with an acute psychotic break. That fits the evidence (as we know it) best
2) diagnosing that can be very hard, even if your family is wealthy. Treating it is even harder.
3) we as a society don’t handle schizophrenics very well. We don’t recognize the danger signs and we aren’t willing to institutionalize them even when they’re dangerous.
4) this had nothing to do with guns; the young man stabbed three people. Unless we’re going to have steak knife control…
5) I gently disagree with Stacy: the young man wasn’t a narcissist, he was a schizophrenic. The former needs to be slapped, the latter needs medical treatment and (likely) institutionalization.

If he had been influenced by the Pick-Up Artists, then wouldn’t he have had more success with the ladies?

Does it occur to the feminists that the men he railed against and wanted to kill were members of the PUA community?

And as for the misogyny, is that why he murdered four men?
Phil_McG
May 25th, 2014 @ 7:55 pm

One thing that’s common to this sort of tragedy is that the Left doesn’t wait till the victims’ bodies have cooled before clambering aboard to use them as a pulpit from which to denounce their enemies. They have the conscience of a blood-hungry mosquito.

Thus, a young man kills six people – four of them men – “misogyny” is to blame!

He hated pick up artists, so pick up artists are to blame!

Of course guns are to blame too! Guns are always to blame. Even for stabbings. Hence why shootings never happen in more socialistic gun-grabbing countries like Norway.

Never let a good murder spree go to waste, eh guys?

The only time this doesn’t hold true is when the perpetrator is a Muslim. In those cases it’s very important that we don’t rush to judgement about the killer’s motives or even talk about his religion, it’s more important to ask what we infidels did to provoke him.

And this, in the Guardian, has to be one of the most asinine sentences ever constructed in the history of the English language: “Rodger, like most young American men, was taught that he was entitled to sex and female attention.”

I’m actually surprised that on parsing the gargantuan imbecility of that sentence, its utter desolation of any trace of intelligence, sanity, or respect for even the concept of objective reality, the internet didn’t spontaneously achieve sentience and immediately eradicate all human life on this planet.

Pray tell, Ms Valenti, you suppurating waste of organic molecules, you shrieking vortex of inanity, you wretched, squirming mass of neurotic malevolence, where are American men “taught” that they are “entitled” to female attention?

Is it in their public schools, which are mostly run by women?

In the home, where thanks to easy divorce and welfare, fatherlessness is at an all-time high?

In the universities, where feminist psychoses and brazen lies about rape are projected onto male students on a daily basis by deranged feminist professors and their gelded male helpers?

On TV, where Dads are almost exclusively portrayed as simpering comedy relief dumbasses who need to be led around like animals by their take-charge, butt-kicking wives?

No. Ms. Valenti would have us believe her incredible assertion is true because there are a few websites out there that criticise feminism, or complain about the second class status fathers endure under family law, or try to impart dating tips to shy young men. Bad websites! The Southern Poverty Law Center, which does profitable business saying anybody to the right of Leon Trotsky is basically Hitler, is “tracking” them!

I notice Ms. Valenti loves abortion and boasts of actively campaigning for the “right” to make tiny corpses out of unborn, unloved, unwanted children. The side she has chosen is responsible for more dead bodies than a million Elliot Rodgers. Rodger was a nutcase and probably off his meds. What’s her excuse?

One does have to wonder how much the promiscuous porn culture might have influenced this young man’s thinking.

Actually, most of us were taught that you have to go out and compete for women.

Of course, Jessica Valenti is married, to Andrew Golis, of Talking Points Memo. Mrs Golis is actually pretty much of a babe. It would not surprise me if, when single, or even since marriage, she has been hit on by men she thought undeserving of her attentions/

Normally I hate to blame parents for the actions of their adult children. But in this case, and with Lanza in Connecticut, these were rich people, educated people who had to know something was seriously wrong with their sons and who had the resources to get them the best of treatment. They should not feign innocence.

Lanza’s mother paid with her life. Rodger’s parents are blaming the “gun culture” and the NRA, which tells me they refused to take responsibility for him when it might have made a difference.

McCain is right. It wasn’t political. It wasn’t PUA. It wasn’t the NRA. And it wasn’t his alleged Asperger’s. I mentioned in another post that I suspected that diagnosis was a pretense to obtain psychiatric care for a personality disorder. Asperger’s is socially acceptable. Being a psychopath is not.

Go on YouTube and watch a couple videos about Asperger’s and then watch a couple videos about psychopathy/sociopathy. Also be sure to check out the videos Rodger made of himself. This guy didn’t have Asperger’s. Aspies aren’t narcissistic. If this POS had Asperger’s, then he would know (like all other Aspies do), that his condition was the reason for his difficulties interacting with women. But for an astonishingly self-aware individual, this guy didn’t seem to have any grasp about the limitation of Asperger’s. Not the way a real Aspie does.

The thing about Asperger’s is that they don’t have the ability to read other people’s emotional cues. For a good portion of their lives, many Aspies are unaware that other people even have emotions. This has lead some to believe that Aspies don’t have empathy. But they do. Unlike the psychopath/sociopath, who does not possess empathy and is limited in their range of emotions. So Asperger’s would be a great diagnosis if you were trying to hide a psychopath in the family.

Put the little monster on some psychotropic meds and pray. Except, what happens when you put someone without a conscience on drugs that affect areas of the brain involved in judgment, abstract reasoning, memory, and emotions?

Anyway, that’s my take. And I only know crazy about half as well as Stacy.

I read the “manifesto” too. Ironically, in my view, Rodger never describes an incident in which he actually approaches a woman and is rebuffed. Instead, he screws up his courage, often with the help of alcohol, and goes out in Isla Vista hoping to be discovered and loved by one of the blonde beauties he desires. It is the woman’s responsibility to notice his special qualities and attractiveness and approach HIM! It never occurs, of course, and he repeats this behavior over and over. I actually found the “Manifesto” to be interesting reading, a contemporary “Catcher in the Rye.” As a psychiatrist, I suspect Rodger had a narcissistic personality disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive disorder and, possibly at the end (“I will be a god…”) a psychosis. The last time he saw his psychiatrist, the doctor prescribed risperidone, an antipsychotic which Rodger did not take. He was also suspected of having autistic spectrum disorder.

In my opinion, Rodger’s parents and his therapists failed to notice the extent of his psychopathology. He made no secret of it although he did not post his “Manifesto” until he was on the verge of carrying out his “retribution.” In fairness. he kept his plans secret and never told anyone of his plans or his guns.

There was no political element to his Manifesto. It was entirely too self oriented to consider politics.

As a psychiatrist, don’t you think his therapists should have noticed his pathology? One of his family members said that he had mental problems for years. Much of this should have been obvious to a professional.
Nomadic100
May 26th, 2014 @ 12:03 am

See my comment above. I do not believe Rodger was schizophrenic but he may have been psychotic at the end. He is very clear that his psychological problems became severe when he entered puberty, though the seeds of psychopathology were planted earlier as the Manifesto makes clear. Rodger had only one friend in his life according to his Manifesto a young man who also had trouble meeting girls and this friend eventually rejected Rodger. Rodger never actually succeeded in any endeavor, social, academic or vocational. But he was a surprisingly good writer.

May 26th, 2014 @ 12:19 am

I’m gonna have to go with Nomadic here. There is no evidence that Rodger was schizophrenic. Well, except that there’s a manifesto. Why do schizophrenics love manifestos? But this one is actually intelligible and not poorly written. Although, I disagree with the “Catcher in the Rye” assessment. But then Salinger never shot up a college town, so maybe I’m just being picky.
Nomadic100
May 26th, 2014 @ 12:37 am

Steve, somehow my first comment did not stick, though it initially appeared. I’m a retired psychiatrist and just reviewed diagnostic criteria in DSM 5 for schizophrenia. Look it up. In my view he likely did not meet criteria for Criterion A, i.e., at least one of the following: delusions, hallucinations or disorganized speech UNLESS he was delusional at the end as in “I will be a god…” Criterion A is essential for the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Read the Manifesto, if you haven’t already.

I believe that Rodger had a complex personality disorder with narcissistic and avoidant features (he never actually approached a woman – rather, she was supposed to recognize his extraordinary qualities and approach HIM). The last time he saw his psychiatrist, the doctor prescribed risperidone, suggesting that Rodger might, in the doctor’s opinion, have lapsed into psychosis or else that the doctor felt he needed a major tranquilizer because of the intensity of his anxiety. It’s unclear, but Rodger never took the drug.

Nomadic, let me ask you something, out of curiosity.

First, let me state that I’m a woman, because I think that applies. But when my husband mentions a woman as “good looking”, at least half the time, I’ll say, “Gross, she’s a skank!” In other words, my characterization of women’s looks is, I guess, “stricter” than his, or any other man I know. I think applies across the board.

Well, it seems like Elliot’s tastes ran toward the “creme de la creme” (or as I would say, the “beyotch de la beyotch”).

Nomadic100: thanks for that. I’m also a doc (internist, not psych). Part of the problem is that we don’t have the full medical record — if we did I’d turn it over to you and trust your judgment.

My thought that he had schizophrenia (not informed by his medical record which I don’t have) is based on the length of time of his illness, that he was being treated by multiple professionals over time, that he had been given different diagnoses over time (young schizophrenics, as you know, have that issue), and that he had a rather sudden decompensation at about the age when young schizophrenics do so.

You’re absolutely right in that we don’t know if he had delusions, a requirement for the diagnosis of CS. We’ll need the medical records for that. We’d also want to parse carefully those records for what would fit in the DSM V.

I yield in that we don’t have a clear, convincing set of data from the news media (hah) about the young man. But I really do wonder if at the end he’s going to be seen as CS.

Charles Morgan
May 26th, 2014 @ 6:59 pm

Sorry for the delay. Yes, the medical records would be invaluable. In reading Rodger’s “Manifesto” I was struck by the seeming lack of urgency in any of the psychiatric or psychological interventions which were offered. I surmise that Rodger was good at hiding things: he lied to his parents constantly about being enrolled in college, for example, to ensure a continuing flow of money. He was composed and articulate in writing his Manifesto – no evidence of hallucinations or disorganization of thought, but considerable perseveration on his main concern: no love.

I was also amazed by he nature of the “psychological” treatment furnished. The “counselors” seemed more like peers or coaches rather than meaningful therapists. That suggests to me that the true nature of his psychopathology was not appreciated. Hindsight is easy, of course, but I believe that, given the ambiguity of his diagnosis for years and his pervasive failure in all aspects of his life (even though some of those failures were hidden), he should have had thorough psychological testing, including projective testing, early in the course of his illness. That would likely have revealed the true nature of his illness.

I agree that his age was entirely consistent with the onset of schizophrenia, and he may have been psychotic at the end when he proclaimed in his Manifesto that, when he exacted “Retribution” he “would be a god…” That’s suggestive, at best.

But the overall theme of his obsessions and preoccupations was consistent for many years. And then he moved to Isla Vista – a locale almost fiendishly designed to exacerbate his disorder. Hot blondes everywhere!!

Ironically, he failed as miserably in his “Retribution” as he did in every other aspect of his life. He had failed academically, socially, and vocationally. He designed his “Retribution” to show he was the “supreme alpha male” and he wanted to kill sexy women and their brutish hunk boyfriends.

In fact, he killed 3 Chinese American UCSB students, 2 female UCSB students, 1 UCSB white male student, and himself.
DeadMessenger
May 26th, 2014 @ 9:10 pm

That wasn’t actually my point. My point was that, I think…haven’t taken a survey or anything…but I think that people are more critical of looks among their own gender, rather tahn the opposite. So, similar to my “skank” comment, my husband will say “Wonder what she sees in him?” And I’ll say, “He’s kind of cute.”

My actual point was, wonder why, if Rodger’s main goal was getting laid, and it seems like it was, why he didn’t, I guess, modify his standard. Just seems to me like a spoiled Hollywood brat could’ve found somebody who was interested. Rather than focusing on sorority girls, you know? Maybe I’m not framing the question right.
