It's an error to think that you can distill any event, much less one like this shooting, to a single root cause. Guns played a role. Misogyny played a role.

It's an error to think that you can distill any event, much less one like this shooting, to a single root cause. Guns played a role. Misogyny played a role. Racism played a role. Mental illness played a role. And different groups of people interested in each of those aspects have been taking action on each of those fronts (if you think it's been completely coöpted into a discussion about misogyny, you haven't been paying attention).
Because a phenomenon involves another cause or affects another group, is no reason to ignore its effect on, in this case, women.
