In a YouTube video, Rodger spoke about his planned "day of retribution".
"I will slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up blonde slut. ... All those girls that I've desired so much, they have all rejected me and looked down upon me as an inferior man," Rodger said in a YouTube video.
Thousands used the #YesAllWomen Twitter hashtag on Monday. "#YesAllWomen because every time I try to say that I want gender equality I have to explain that I don't hate men," one poster commented.
"I was born 1918. My mother fought so she, my sister and I could vote. U must fight so ur daughters vote wisely. #YesAllWomen," wrote another.
However the hashtag quickly spawned a rival thread - #NoAllMen. "#YesAllWomen are Beautiful and #NoAllMen are not Pigs! There is Evil in the World plain & Simple there always has been always will be," a poster wrote.
