Seniors - E.C. - Elliot Rodgers and #YesAllWomen

Over the past weekend, we've been exposed to the horrific events that occurred in Santa Barbara this past Friday night.  But what is perhaps most troubling are the motivations for the killer's actions.  Some suggest that while Elliot Rodger's actions reflected a deeply disturbed young man, his beliefs were reflective of some perspective of gender in our society.

I'd like you to research some of the discussion surrounding this young man's actions as well as delving into the popularized hash tag #YesAllWomen (created in response to #NotAllMen) to gain a stronger perspective of our national debate.
