ANGRY LUST?

Published April 17, 2024 by Nan Mykel

OH NO!

The mass shooting in Australia on a recent Saturday raises the suspicion of more woman-hating.  Incel again? All but three of the 18 people killed or injured were women. While the attacker’s motive may never be known, many said the episode spoke to a larger problem.

Monday was a national day of mourning in Australia, flags flying at half-staff throughout the country. The attacker was identified by the authorities as Joel Cauchi, 40, a man who was known to the authorities but had never been arrested.“The gender breakdown is, of course, concerning,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a radio interview Monday morning, saying the police were looking into whether the attacker deliberately targeted women.

“The ideology of the attacker was crystal clear — a hatred of women,” Josh Burns, a member of Parliament, wrote on the social media site X on Monday. “We must call it out for what it is.”

The older Mr. Cauchi said it could have been out of frustration from his inability to date women.

“He wanted a girlfriend, and he’s got no social skills, and he was frustrated out of his brains,” the older Mr. Cauchi told local news media.

Nan says: This kind of situation relates in part to my feeling critical of women who like to present themselves as sexy in public. It detracts from being seen as a member of a cogent human race.  Not that the murdered females were presenting themselves coyly at the shopping center…  Sad, sad, sad.

Some time ago I read of rapists who felt that sexily dressed women were taunting them with their attractiveness.

“Incel” stands for The term “involuntary celibate” (shortened to “incel”) and  refers to self-identifying members of an online subculture based around the inability to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one, a state they describe as “inceldom” or “incelibacy”, according to Wikipedia.
