The suspected knife seemed to choose the target of girls – researchers: linked to a wider female hatred culture
Pirkkala school dressing|One of the motives for Pirkkala’s Tuesday school mood seems to be the search for publicity, says Tomi Kiilakoski, a researcher at the Youth Research Network.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
In Pirkkala, a boy under the age of 18 is suspected of stabbing three under 15 girls at school on Tuesday.
According to researcher Tomi Kiilakoski, the act has female -haired features, as girls were chosen as the victims.
Researcher Emilia Lounela sees the act linked to a broader female -hate culture and thinking.
Kiilakoski states that the act is different from typical school murders, but it seemed to seek maximum publicity.

The victims were delivered for further treatment. Wednesday police officer toldthat they are already home.
Iltalehti According to the suspect, the suspect had sent it on Tuesday morning some manifesto, where he said he intended to stab the girls and surrender to the police.
Police have no reason to suspect that the manifesto is the suspect, the Criminal Commissioner, the General Director of the Investigation, Jari Kinnunen told Tuesday. According to the police, there are indications that the suspect selected girls as targets.
Did In the background of the act, female hatred or did the girls choose to be victims by chance?
Researcher in Youth Research Network, who has studied school deaths Tomi Kiilakoski It is not yet aware that the author has spent time in female hatred online communities.

« However, it is safe to say that there are elements of female hatred, because it was the girls who were chosen as victims. »
Also behind the Incel violence is often a female hatred motive, says researcher at the University of Helsinki who has studied Incel’s subcultures Emilia Lounela.
The term comes from the English words involuntary Celibacy, or « involuntary celibacy ». Those in the community often tell about frustration, female hatred and loneliness due to lack of sex.
At its worst, the Incel thinking has been discharged up to as violence and terrorist acts. However, Lounela does not see the indications that the suspect in the Pirkkala case would belong to the Incel community.

Its Instead, the act seems to be linked to a wider female -haired culture and thinking that women are in some way inferior to men, says Lounela.
Sexist and female -haired rhetoric is increasingly featured online, politics and media, says Lounela. He sees that at the global level, the rights of women, sex and sexual minorities are visibly attacking.
« Not only is it visible online for young people, it is visible to all of us. Global politics feeds and normalizes such rhetoric. »
The female hate rhetoric, on the other hand, feeds violence against women. It is really common, although most of it does not attract public attention, Lounela points out.
Kiilakoski According to school, school deaths and their companies are often attacks on institutions. In them, victims are usually selected completely occasionally. Another common motive is revenge, where certain parties are chosen as victims.
According to Kiilakoski, the Pirkkala case differs from both.
« The victims are random, but girls. Manifestik also resembles a resume than a social reason for school deaths. »
Police have not yet reported any motives for the act. Even the manifest on the web provides little information.
« Often, there are experiences of abuse or rejection that cause anger and disappointment. However, there is no such thing in the manifesto, there is no emotional content at all, » says Kiilakoski.
Its Instead, it can be concluded that at least one motive has been the search for publicity, says Kiilakoski.
The author has described the act with the camera and wrote a detailed description of it in the manifest.
« It is obvious that it is looking for maximum publicity. It is very typical in school deaths, » says Kiilakoski.
Most of the school deaths have been boys or men. According to Kiilakoski, school deaths are often associated with the tradition of masculine violence.
« We do not yet know if the author of the Pirkkala case has been investigating earlier school deaths, but some kind of cultural manuscript has been adapted here. »
According to him, it is not known why violence like school deaths is more typical for men. Explanatory factors include culture, education and peer culture of young people.
“Often one simple explanation is not found.”
