That's twice that this sort of thing has happened in about one year's time.
I should say, that's twice in one year that we've heard about such behavior
through media exposure.  (Remember New Bedford?)  That's not counting other
similar attacks that go unreported for whatever reason.

Forget actual attacks.  Call them "isolated incidents" or "extreme cases".
For every actual attack like this one, how many groups have tried to do the
same thing, or talked and laughed about doing it?

And some people have the nerve to claim "Well, my SO and I have a very healthy,
mature relationship that avoids all that negative behavior and thinking, and
none of my male friends behave that way, so it must not be widespread.  It must
be the media perpetuating a myth."
