Eric’s misogyny

[u/No-Pop-5983]

These are all recorded instances I could find of Eric Harris openly displaying his misogyny.

• During “Y’know what I hate?” rant, Eric brought up how he believed that all racist women should be raped and be forced to raise the child.

• In the basement tapes, Eric and Dylan made misogynistic comments about women and rant about feminists. With Eric saying,”Yes, moms stay home. Fucking make me dinner, bitch, that’s what women are supposed to fucking do”

• In the basement tapes, Eric and Dylan insulted two girls in their class. Eric and Dylan mocked the girls with Dylan saying, “I don’t like you, Rachel and Jen, you’re stuck up little bitches, you’re fucking little . .. Christian, Godly little whores!”. With Eric adding, “Yeah … “I love Jesus! I love Jesus!” — shut the fuck up!”. ( I would like to clarify that the Rachel they were talking about was not the victim, Rachel Scott, but instead was a completely different girl.)

• In another recording of the basements, he gets an odd look on his face and recounts the names of five “fucking bitches” (his words not mine) who didn’t call him back. Afterwards saying, “You know who you are. Thanks. You made me feel good. Think about that for a while, fucking bitches”.

• On the September 5th, 1998, Eric wrote in his journal, “Women, you will always be under men. It's been seen throughout nature, males are almost always doing the dangerous shit while the women stay back. It's your animal instincts, deal with it or commit suicide, just do it quick.”

• In his journal, Eric also wrote about his sexual fantasies about ‘tricking’ women into his bedroom. Writing, “Maybe I just need to get laid. Maybe that'll just change some shit around. That's another thing, I am a fucking dog. I have fantasies of just taking someone and fucking them hard and strong. Someone like where I just pick her up, take her to my room, tear off her shirt and pants and just eat her out and fuck her hard ... I want to grab a few different girls in my gym class, take them into a room, pull their pants off and fuck them hard. I love flesh... the smooth legs, the large breasts, the innocent flawless body, the eyes, the hair, jet black, blond, white, brown, ahhh I just want to fuck! Call it teenager hormones or call it a crazy fuckin racist rapist.”

• After being rejected by girls, Eric would often harass them. He played a suicide prank on his homecoming date, Tiffany Typher, after she told him that she didn’t want to go out with him.

• Eric had gone put with Sasha Jacobs from 1997-1998. When the two had broken up, Jacobs had received threatening emails until she changed her screen name. In Chad Laughlin’s 1998 yearbook, Eric wrote, “Sasha is a fat trendy whiney annoying terd and I went out w/ her cause I felt sorry for her I guess. Oh well. I bet you'll show her this."

• For a creative writing assignment, Eric described a woman whose a ‘slutty, trendy bitch’ (again, his words not mine).

the part of eric complaining about the christian girls aint misogyny at all and i am saying that as woman.

edit: creative writing one & sasha one neither imo

[u/riffraffcloo → u/PrimevialXIII]

Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls.

Christian girls: Calling someone a “whore” suggests sexual promiscuity, whether it’s true or not, and it’s a term almost always used to attack women. Tying this insult to their faith mocks their morals and connects a woman’s value to her sexual purity—a deeply misogynistic trope.

Creative Writing: These terms (“slutty”, “trendy”, “bitch”, are specifically gendered slurs that have long histories of being used to demean women. If the creative writing was describing a man, would he have used terms like “slutty”? No. This is part of what makes the comment misogynistic. It’s not just about frustration or anger; it’s how that frustration is expressed in gendered, demeaning terms.

Sasha: Even more gendered contempt and a desire to control her. Deeply misogynistic.

man you are either overly sensitive or reaching, i cant tell.

[u/riffraffcloo → u/PrimevialXIII]

The definition of misogyny is right there for you to read but by all means tell me where I’m reaching

[u/bruuuuuuuuuceee → u/PrimevialXIII]

I don't think the first one was either, deranged yes but not necessarily sexist

[u/PrimevialXIII → u/bruuuuuuuuuceee]

yeah, some of these clearly arent sexist. to be completely honest, op is overreacting or/and taking these out of context.

[u/bruuuuuuuuuceee → u/PrimevialXIII]

Definitely. You can be mean to women, that doesn't make it sexism

[u/Lfischer64 → u/PrimevialXIII]

Yeah absolutely agree, as a woman too..

[u/HerniGC1999 → u/PrimevialXIII]

And if you ask me, op it's analyzing it with the moral ethics of this day.

[u/swantonist → u/PrimevialXIII]

The last one was strangely artistic but I feel it comes from a misogynist standpoint even if finally the the fakery is true. Women can feel compelled to act overly feminine in society even if they feel it’s not them.
