Yes, you read my thread title correctly, because two very recent crimes are a result of what happens when we stop considering the power differences between men and women, and start becoming overly concerned about guys who just got their signals crossed etc.:

California gunman, in manifesto, says police nearly thwarted plot
(Reuters) - A 22-year-old man who killed six people before taking his own life in a rampage through a California college town said in a chilling manifesto that police who knocked on his door last month to check on his welfare nearly foiled his plot.
Elliot Rodger, the son of a Hollywood director, stabbed three people to death in his apartment before gunning down three more victims on Friday night in the town of Isla Vista near the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB).
Rodger, who posted a threatening video railing about women online shortly before his rampage, stalked Isla Vista in his car and on foot, firing on bystanders in a killing spree that ended when he killed himself after a shootout with sheriff's deputies, police said.
But less than a month before he launched his deadly attacks, after he had planned the killings and obtained the guns he would use, the community college student opened his door to a knock to find about seven police officers looking for him.
"I had the striking and devastating fear that someone had somehow discovered what I was planning to do, and reported me for it," Rodger said in a manifesto obtained by California's KEYT-TV, excerpts of which were published by the Los Angeles Times.
"If that was the case, the police would have searched my room, found all of my guns and weapons, along with my writings about what I plan to do with them. I would have been thrown in jail, denied of the chance to exact revenge on my enemies. I can't imagine a hell darker than that. Thankfully, that wasn't the case, but it was so close," he wrote.
He said officers told him videos he posted online had alarmed his mother, and he believed either she or a mental health agency had asked authorities to check up on him.
So, it all started because he felt that being rejected or turned down by women excused making abusive videos. That was known to police, and of course he had enough cognizance to keep the murder spree plan secret. Obviously he was a narcissist, who felt entitled to these women...where did he get an attitude like that from?Elliot Rodger, the son of a Hollywood director, stabbed three people to death in his apartment before gunning down three more victims on Friday night in the town of Isla Vista near the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB).

Japanese horror: Two pop idols attacked by saw-wielding man
Two members of a Japanese idol group AKB48, consisting of 140 girls, have been hospitalized after a saw-wielding man suddenly appeared from a crowd of fans and attacked them at a handshake event in Iwate Prefecture on Sunday, Japanese media reported.
The members of the pop group, Rina Kawaei 19, and Anna Iriyama 18, were brutally attacked at a fan event in Takizawa, the company behind Japans idol group, AKS, said in a statement on its website.
The attacker, a 24 year old man, was waiting in line with hundreds of other fans, but suddenly he took out a 50-cm saw and started swinging it, Mainichi reported. The groups staff member who was also injured, was protecting the girls and tried to stop the attacker.
It's still early, and so far police say they don't know of the motive for the attack, but I'll put money on it being one more of these delusional expectations of a narcissist feeling entitled to women who turn him on. But, enough of the excuses of 'how she was dressed' or 'she came over to my place.' These extreme cases are what happens when you make excuses for predatory culture that starts with images and themes that guys should do everything and anything they can get away with to score!The attacker, a 24 year old man, was waiting in line with hundreds of other fans, but suddenly he took out a 50-cm saw and started swinging it, Mainichi reported.
