I would suspect that the number of people from any gender, who might think about, or "plot" to do bad things, is probably much higher. Just that the ones who actually go about DOING it, do tend to skew more towards dudes.
I grew up in the sticks of Missouri, I know some pretty racists white people. And let me tell you the white dudes might be the more violent racists, but the white women are by far the most vindictive, vile and hate-filled racists. For white dudes is all about dick size and black men fucking their girlfriends/daughters. For white women its color, hair, nails, lip size, eye size, forehead, feet, speech patterns, education, wellfare, muscles being too big, looking like a monkey. The most vile racists shit I've heard has always been from women. At least here in Missouri.
One can hope. Though the nature of the planned crime (stabbing people to death) implies some problems beyond just a lack of critical thinking skills and life experiences.
Oh I'm not saying there aren't other issues involved, I'm just saying that given her age, I hope it's more just a VERY badly aimed bit of emotional problems, and not something deep seated that will turn her into something more toxic and dangerous to humanity going forward. I mean given what day it was, and whether or not the guy who bullied me in school for 3 years, had recently mocked me publicly, I can definitely say that I'd fantasized about killing him in lots of terrible ways. It wasn't just him though, he was more the focal point for the frustrations I had due to multiple things. I eventually got over those. I hope that her issue, is somewhat similar to that. That it's not an actual hatred for the black community, but was perhaps just a pressure cooker of tons of other fucked up factors, and she just had REALLY bad ways of trying to deal with it.
Oh, my point wasn't that women couldn't be racist, I phrased that last part bad. But usually with woman its more the kind of racist that is "Why I don't want their kind around me" and less of the "I have to eliminate the browns to protect our white babies."
A victory for equality and smashing gender stereotypes!
If any of us thought you actually cared about those things even the tiniest amount, your post might have more of an effect.
I can confirm that sort of thing happens in the bush in Australia too. While I wouldn’t say that women are more racist, they can be on the same level as men. I’d say less insulting, but sugar coating a bad idea doesn’t make it better
Ugh, of course it's always about a man. She fails the Bechdel test and is a poorly written character.
White supremacy is a chauvinistic ideology. Most of the white guys who pull this shit do so out of self-loathing and also hate the other white guys who did it. Making a martyr of yourself for the cause is for losers, real heroes never lose. For women though, romanticizing and making martyrs of themselves for the cause of white supremacy is the only way to have some power within the movement rather than exist solely as some idealized object. It’s actually a way for them to maintain some sort of self-esteem while believing something that treats them as an entity without personhood. The result is no less disastrous of course.
I mean, wouldn't being your own terrorist give you power within the movement? Wouldn't that force the other terrorists to look up to you, rather than down on you? Like, your actions speak for themselves.
Yeah I don’t think you realise how many women want men to be chauvinistic. Treating women ‘poorly’ is a feature, not a bug. They wouldn’t call it poorly, they would call it right. They want men in power and they should do whatever they think is necessary. You’d call it identity politics, it’s just not your version. See the women’s anti-feminist movement that stopped the ERA as an example
Wouldn’t it be more - ‘terrorism that doesn’t backfire’ be the aim? Like, people are going to not like you if it hurts your cause rather than helps.
Nah, because you die or go to jail, like a loser. Martyrdom is for pussies, essentially. It’s a supreme act of self-loathing.
Well yeah, but some would still like to be people. Once you start believing that white women exist to make white babies and be pristine objects of moral perfection, you realize that doesn’t leave much space for anything resembling personhood. So your options are to try to establish that personhood on the small scale, and become some mean girl Karen, lie and grift your way through life, or make a martyr of yourself. Some choose the last one when they hate lying and can’t function within social hierarchies well.
