The killer ended up killing more men than women, but it all comes back to the same culture. He wanted to kill women because they rejected him, and he felt entitled to their love. And he wanted to kill the men who "stole" his women, as he was more entitled to the women.

I agree completely with the message that it is up to men (all men. Every single one of us) to stop this.

"But we can stop it, by refusing to consent to it or reinforce it any longer. We can change the channel when the peddlers of misogyny come on; we can starve them of the attention they need to survive. We can let friends and family know, when they spew prejudice, that we don’t appreciate hearing anyone talk about women that way. We can reject the demand that men prove their masculinity through casual sexism or aggression. We can see that discrimination in the workplace, or harassment on the street, or abuse and degradation on the internet, is treated with the seriousness it deserves. We can listen to women when they talk about their experiences, and believe them."

Advisory: really horrible shit. Again.

And we can put a stop to it, we men. Women can’t stop it – at least, not alone – but we can. This follows trivially from the fact that we created it. We created the culture that led to acts of violence like this: not individually, not single-handedly, but collectively, through a million small acts that add up to a background radiation of sexism, a subtle devaluing of women’s lives and autonomy that’s pervasive in our culture. When this poison becomes concentrated in a single person, it creates killers.
