and people send her death threats to prove her point.

Isn't making terroristic threats a crime?

And what happened with that Utah State threat, where the guy threatened mass murder?

In this day of sophisticated surveillance, I find it hard to imagine that law enforcement cannot find the senders of the threats. What's going on with this?

but it certainly sounds like a reasonable hypothesis.

I would agree with 'undeniable truth'. they prove her point.

Because they have this thing called testosterone, which makes them more aggressive and less mindful of the consequences. Which is why throughout history, whether it's guns, swords, fists or footballs, they've been more violent than women.

As for being white, just lol

The numbers suggest that the problem is distributed far more racially equally than thought. The problem is very gender aligned, but if you say that mass shootings are a white male problem culturally, you're not seeing the whole problem.

There is a very real problem with a few million out-and-out misogynists (vocal or undercover, doesn't matter) causing shitloads of problems for everyone else, especially women. There's also a problem with gun culture, too.

But here's the thing: it's not just a white guy problem......it's a guy problem, period.

So, okay, are you satisfied now?

What a bummer...

Your headline states this truthiness as self-evident, which I thought needed a thorough debunking.

This is a very common excuse and like you say, it's bullshit, it's just a way to duck responsibility. I have no idea why some men think being out of control either by testerone or their sex drive, is somehow a great thing and why some women and mothers/wives/sis etc., accept this stupidity.

the culture of masculinity. since the majority of men are not controlled in anger and violence, nor rape, we pretty much have the reality of the situation. but, when it behooves them to hold it up as a man card, too many men are tempted.

no, it is not a complement.

do we hear us go around talking about estrogen all the fuckin time? women, controlled by your estrogen again. i tell ya.

thanks for your post.

How often do you see women / girls so on mass shootings? It never happens.

To say mass shootings are just the spawn of "crazy people" enables them to happen. Mass shootings come from the toxic masculinity in our culture that teaches that might is right, getting revenge makes you a man, and women are objects for the taking. We don't teach men to work things out and seek out help / support. That's "weak." Instead, we teach them to explode at the drop of a hat and lash out violently.

making them aware, and having discussions. it is not too too hard walking away from this. it does behoove our men. it is a little more challenging in the upper teens lower twenties, i see. the pressure is so damn hard, demanding the boys hold up their man card.

Then what IS our "cultural definition of masculinity"? And how does this definition differ from that of, say, Canada?

Saudi Arabia, for examples, is one of THE worst places to be a woman right now. So is China. So, too, are Iran and North Korea, and probably much of the rest of the third world as well. And no doubt there's guys out there who'd love to bring us down to that exact level(all while the racist hypocrites amongst them mutter and mumble about "white" "superiority", etc.).

"violence comes from the US culture of masculinity"

Q: what is the US culture of masculinity?

A: It is violent.

Meaning she has said nothing, but we are supposed to applaud because she is attacking males.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that our American culture is itself violent, and the favored gender conforms to cultural stereotypes that manifest this underlying worship of violence.

Lowlife dummies...

the vast majority of american mass shooters are white and male. just look at how some are furiously trying to deny that in this thread. pathetic.

I asked some questions up thread and got crickets.

Calling people ugly names is one thing, but making death threats or threats of physical attack is a crime, isn't it?

Has she gone to the police? Have the police done anything?

At Utah State, there was a mass murder threat. What happened to that?

I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, the authorities can't find out who is tweeting death threats. It seems like a few exemplary prosecutions might make a difference.

Police can't do much unless Twitter cooperates with them.

recently having conversation saying this is an up and coming field in law that is very active now.

we need laws.

I'm glad she knows how to raise the question in a way that is generating discussion. K&R

and i have no doubt most of them are males, and probably white males.
