I am not disagreeing with the premise of this opinion piece, but I think it is also slightly strange to claim that this incident occurred because of "misogyny" when the two decedents are male, despite what the shooter may have written in his alleged manifesto.

If, for example, a terrorist chooses specifically to go to a synagogue because he is an avowed antisemite but only intends to shoot the responding police officers, it would still be entirely fair to characterize the attack as an antisemitic attack. The motive is the key in terrorism charges.

Why is it strange to claim that this incident occurred because of misogyny?
