It’s a particular strain of misogyny taken to its logical extreme." And I totally agree. I was over at my Dude's house last night, talking to his roommate. We all work out with a running club. Anyway, Dude's roommate was ranting about some girl at running club who had the audacity to try to outrun him on a workout run earlier this week and how he got supreme satisfaction at passing her later in the run. She was exhausted and out of breath, and he happily sped past her. I was trying to figure out why this made him so happy, and all I could get out of him was that (a) he doesn't like ANYONE to pass him on a workout run and (b) this girl is not friendly (read: flirty) to him at running club. He was so vitriolic about the situation that it made me uncomfortable. He kept saying he doesn't like anyone to pass him on a run, but it always came back to this girl and her "nasty attitude." I'm sure it doesn't make him feel any better that my Dude and I met at this running club -- I'm sure he is thinking, "Why not me?" Well, it's because one of you is sort of misogynist and the other one loves how ambitious his girlfriend is. Just saying. Anyway, Dude is always saying what a "nice guy" his roommate is, but this little tale doesn't quite fit with that story. I'm sure Dude's roommate won't open fire on running club anytime soon, but it seems he has a mild form of what this Pittsburgh asshole had. I wish there were fewer such stories.

The news outlets are blaming it on mental illness and feminists are blaming it on misogyny, as if the two cannot ever meet up at some point. @pedmi: I don’t understand why we have to chose either.

I should have known they'd block his page. If he wasn't an AskMen kinda guy, <strong>JetGirl</strong>, I'm thinkin' he trolled over at antimisandry.com where men bravely speak out at the horrible abuses they suffer at the hands of women. I haven't yet had the courage to peek over there and see what response--if any--there is from those dudes. If they've read his journal, I've got to think they see a lot of familiar sentiments. And <strong>bluebears</strong>, patriarchy is hard for some (most?) women to swallow because it's pretty shocking and disturbing to realize that the world, and not just a couple mean or crazy dudes, is set up to disenfranchise you. It also might require you to do something to end it, rather just brushing off bad experiences as unfortunate and coincidental. Thanks, blue_streak. I should have known they’d block his page.
