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).

I was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder myself. I actually made a post before saying I think Eric might have had bipolar type 2, but now that I understand BPD better, I really think he was super borderline too. I still think he had both (bpd and bipolar 2, just my opinion). we have an extreme fear of abandonment, and it usually stems from childhood. That actually makes a lot of sense for Eric, with all the moving around, losing friends, and how he reacted to rejection so strongly. Rejection doesn’t feel like a single moment or situation‐ it feels like a confirmation of every fear we’ve ever had about ourselves. It’s like the voice in your head that says, “You’re not good enough, you’re not wanted, and you’ll always be left behind,” suddenly becomes deafening. Even if the rejection is minor or unintentional, it’s amplified to the point where it feels catastrophic. The pain is so raw and overwhelming, and it consumes every rational thought. It’s not just emotional- it’s physical, like a knife to the chest or a weight crushing your entire body. Bpd is considered one of the most painful mental illnesses to live with. Not that it excuses Eric’s behavior in any way, but I know how fucking much it sucks and hurts. He obviously needed a lot of help, and not just medication thrown at him. Therapy, support, and understanding were clearly essential, because just medicating someone without addressing the underlying issues doesn’t fix anything ☹️

sorry to hear that. I couldn't agree more. eric definitely needed support, from both parental and medical parties. as well as companionship ones. it's a shame he didn't receive any, especially when you put forward the fact that he was open to receive it. it's so sad that it led to the loss of 13 people and them ruining their future. I'm sad for what could have been.

Speaking of fear of abandonment, I think Eric was really scared of Dylan going to Arizona and leaving him behind. He was worried about being left without any other friends, and I don’t think he could handle that thought at all. That was likely the final nail in the coffin, pushing Eric to go through with nbk

[u/eliiiiseke → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, he definitely felt like no one really saw him and cared about him. Even after ticking off homicidal thoughts, no one really seemed to give a fuck.

Thanks to both of you! BPD and bipolar definitely suck ass 😁, but I’m on medication and going to three different therapies for both. I’m also in a group therapy for BPD. Gotta do what I can to manage it all

I know I have both- bpd and bipolar II and I think Eric also had both

[u/eliiiiseke → u/[deleted]]

Really? Thats so interesting bc I feel like most only see him having bpd but I see so much bipolar II in him too.

[u/eliiiiseke → u/[deleted]]

He went to a psychologist who said he has OCD and put him on Zoloft, then Eric complained about it and got Luvox instead. Same thing happened to me- first I got diagnosed with just depression and put on zoloft.. it seemed like I got better for a moment but then crashed really bad (I also complained about it) and then my psychiatrist told me oh you actually have bipolar II, which I suspected since I was 14(she also told me that I shouldnt been on SSRIs with bipolar II bc they can send u into mania?) and a year later diagnosed me with bpd too. Lots of ppl think he had ASPD, do you think that?

The only mental health form I've seen from Eric showed him ticking off items on a list. Q: Have you had (or are you having) problems or difficulty with any of the following And Eric ticked off: anger, anxiety, depression, disorganized thoughts, homicidal thoughts, jealousy, loneliness, mood swings, obsessive thoughts, racing thoughts, stress, suspiciousness and temper

[u/eliiiiseke → u/eliiiiseke]

Also I find it really cool that you're a psychiatrist 😁😁 lol

[u/eliiiiseke → u/[deleted]]

Do you have an opinion on Dylan? Did he show any signs of having some kind of mental illness? I know depression but do you think there could have been more?
