| 0:00.0 | So a couple of weeks ago, I come across this news item that yet another mass killing, another |
| 0:05.6 | killing spree has occurred in the United States. I just thought, oh, just another mass killing. |
| 0:12.3 | And I remember Columbine. When it happened, I remember just being very interested in the news story. |
| 0:18.8 | And as each subsequent mass killing news story popped up since then, |
| 0:24.0 | I feel like I've become more and more desensitized to it. But this one was a bit more |
| 0:29.2 | interesting, I think, because I started seeing a lot of people posting things on the internet |
| 0:34.2 | regarding misogyny. So this killing a couple weeks ago was the killing in |
| 0:38.8 | Ila Vista, University of California, Santa Barbara. His name was Elliot Roger. So at first I just thought |
| 0:44.5 | I was just another one of those stories and another headline and another tragedy. And we would |

| 1:14.5 | saying, not all men. I started seeing men saying, hey, wait a second, not all men are misogynistic |
| 1:21.9 | people who want to kill women. So I thought, well, that's interesting. Just took note of that. |
| 1:26.7 | And then I saw a huge backlash |
| 1:28.6 | on the not all men movement called Yes, All Women. And again, read some of that material and was |
| 1:37.0 | compelled a little bit more about the story. And then I saw some coverage of one of the fathers of |
| 1:43.0 | the victims of the Isla Vista killings. He was talking |
| 1:47.8 | about gun control and he had a very passionate speech about how we need to crack down on guns |
| 1:55.2 | and how his son would still be alive if we had stricter gun laws. And I thought, oh, okay, well, |
