| Topic | The bombing in Manchester was a gender based misogynist attack |

I don't think there's anything exactly wrong with what the author wrote; the attack disproportionately targeted women and girls, much like the Orlando attack targeted the LGBT community. But was the motive of the attack to disrupt an Ariana Grande concert, or to spread global terror? I mean I get the demographics of an Ariana Grande concert skew younger and more female (trust me I've been to these types of shows). But the logic to pin it on misogyny honestly feels disrespectful not only to every victim but everyone who attended or knew someone that attended, oblivious to what is actually happening in the world, and just feels like a reach across the fucking ocean. --- http://www.last.fm/user/PigBun 56k warning ...
