So there was another shooting. Again. This time at a Walmart in El Passo, Texas. Again, the shooter was a man. Again, it's another angry little fucker who can't control his emotions and has to throw a fit so that everyone can see how angry he is.
Again, people will focus on the weapon or his race or his politics or his religion or his state of mental health or anything else that suits them besides the one truly common factor involved in most (not all, but most) instances of mass violence.
Gender. GENDER GENDER GENDER.
Men do this. Almost always, men do this. Men of all races, all religions, all political ideals, all levels of mental stability. Men are the ones who think people need to pay attention to their state of unhappiness because they can't get dates/jobs/people to follow their religion/hugs/etc. MEN.
If we want to end this kind of mass violence, it's going to start with ending whatever disconnect we're teaching men that allows them to think it's okay for them to kill a bunch of people just because they're mad about something. We're either going to have to teach them or something more drastic.
