He was also deeply misogynistic and believed that women were inferior to men. Rodger's attacks were motivated by his hatred of women and his desire to punish them for what he perceived as their rejection of him. He also wanted to become famous and to inspire other incels to commit similar acts of violence. His attacks were a tragedy that resulted in the deaths of six innocent people, and they also raised awareness of the dangers of online radicalization and the incel community.
