This article discusses male privilege and how that is often a contributing factor in violence. It’s applicable to many cases, maybe even to Elliot Rodger. However, I do not think in Elliot’s case that it was that simple. There were multiple contributing factors to his actions.

“Men who abuse, harass, and target women for violence are rarely shy about their motives. Elliot Rodger, who killed two female college students on the University of California, Santa Barbara campus in 2014, claimed in a YouTube video that his act was designed to punish the women who refused to sleep with him and the men they jilted him for. ‘I don’t know why you girls aren’t attracted to me,’ he said. ‘It’s an injustice, a crime because I don’t know what you don’t see in me, I’m the perfect guy and yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentleman. I will punish all of you for it.’ Entitlement is the through-line here. Rodger killed women because he believed he deserved them.”
