Elliot Rodger, Male Entitlement, Misogyny and Violence

May 28, 2014 – Segment 2

We look at the tragic killing rampage last week in California by 22-year old Elliot Rodger. The latest reports indicate that he acted in part out of an intense frustration over rejection by women. We discuss male entitlement, misogyny and violence against women. Our panel of guests includes: Igor Volsky, Managing Editor of ThinkProgress.org; Dr. John Bullock, professor of Political Science at Towson University; Dr. Kate Drabinski, Lecturer of Gender and Women’s Studies and Director of the Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) program at UMBC; and A. Adar Ayira, Project Manager of the More in the Middle Campaign for Associated Black Charities and facilitator and analyst at Baltimore Racial Justice Action, a program of Fusion Partnerships.
