Why is it that we have never seen a woman instigate a mass murder with assault weapons?

[Grasswire2]

What's that about?

We know they buy them, and brag about them, and groom their children to display them.

But they haven't (to my knowledge) carried out carnage and devastation.

Is this something useful to consider?

1. Women don't play video games.

I think there is something about toxic masculinity in the mix. They feel emasculated by failures as men and lash out with a gun.

[fightforfreedom]

2. Because many men think with the wrong head.

Women don't have that problem.

16. A penis makes men want to murder?

7. Handgun

8. There was another, Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego in 1979

The "I hate Monday's girl". I'm sorry I don't know how to link to it with my device, she was a teenager.

4. If you look into the backgrounds of most mass shooters, they are

angry incels who feel entitled to women's adoration and are frustrated that they are not getting it.

It's just a big swampy soup of toxic masculinity which women are not subject to.

18. Nailed it. nt

10. Einstein speculated, at the beginning of The Great War, that

"A biologically determined, feature of the male character" contributed to war. I believe that the same would apply to murder. The old boy may have been right, he was right about a few other things. As a life long male, who has paid attention, I believe that women have better judgement than men, are more stable, and that it would be a rare woman, indeed, that murdered random children. Women are certainly capable of evil deeds, but not on the same scale as men. Men love fighting, and love war and killing, otherwise we would have abandoned it long ago.

11. Recently, a woman shot up a school bus loaded with kids in Georgia.

12. Toxic masculinity combined with cultural pressures

After seeing my child born, I became convinced that men kill (and suppress women, esp around childbirth) because deep down, we know we can’t come even close to that, other than to kill. Intel’s know they won’t even get that far.

[milestogo]

13. Guns are too heavy.

Not.

[Buckeyeblue]

14. Women who kill do so for more personal reasons

Men lash out. Women go for the person who fucked them over. Or who they think fucked them over.

[Baked Potato]

15. I think men, males, boys tend to blame others for their failures.

This could be societal pressures to succeed at every task, to include social skills like communication and relationships.

This blame can manifest as violence toward others.

17. Don't tempt the gods of shooting with your hubris
