What does Taylor Swift represent that makes men hate her enough to want to kill her fans?

The girls attending the dance class, the fans in Vienna, the girl in London coming from Australia.
Is it because they feel shut out of something joyful for women and girls? They can't stand to see women having a great time, being a happy community without the need for men?
Is it because she tells relatable stories about her relationships with men? Her incredible success? Because she can't be controlled and all that might rub off on young girls and make them believe they can be more on their own?
What is it that certain men can't stand about women being Swifties that makes them violent?
Does it speak to a widespread general misogyny in society?

What isn't often talked about, beyond the circles concerned, is the incredible rich network of female friends that older single women often have. Men, not so much, from what I can see - they find another partner pretty quickly. Maybe the 2 things are related...

@Walkacrossthesand that's very true. I have old work friends, school friends, people I've met through interests. My DP really has little contact with old friends outside Facebook. Maybe women just nurture their friends in a way men don't.

I am not sure can generalise by sex. My DH has way more friends than I do that he sees far more often than I do. If he were single, he would be even more sociable. I think it is more that some of us are introverted and others are extroverted. I also do not think an introvert is more likely to be a mass murderer, because they prefer not to have a “rich network” of lots of friends.

@LoremIpsumCici I'm actually quite introverted - I think you have to be, to live contentedly on your own - but I do value my female friends!
I was somewhat circuitously responding to the 'men feel threatened by women being independent' aspect of previous posts, not implying that terrorists are introverts...

Hmm. Ok. I did not make the link as often conceive of independence as not relying, or relying very little on partner, family or friends.

I don’t think it’s TS. I think it’s just an event that these attackers know will have plenty of female victims to rampage amongst.

If I wanted to kill a bunch of blokes, I’d be going to a gaming convention…

I’ll come with you.
