Her title, "Elliot Rodger was a misogynist -- but is that all he was?," implies that she is attempting to figure out if he really was a misogynist or something more complex, but her real goal is to convince her readers that he was indeed nothing more than a misogynist acting out the violence that our misogynistic culture encourages; in addition to ignoring the hateful words Rodger directed at men, she also glossed over the deaths of his male roommates, his obviously troubled mental state, and his blatant racism.

The other characters are bothered and annoyed by the grievances of Anse, and his neighbors such as Tull view Addies death and Vardaman’s actions as “A judgment on them.
