It appears some don't want a discussion regarding misogyny

47. Are you suggesting that there's 'better' scientific evidence that 'misogyny' causes mass shootings

than there is evidence that 'mental illness' causes shootings? And if so, I'd be keen to see the research that backs this up. Because I sure don't remember a case where a mass shooter particularly targeted females, nor any that left behind documentation that stated that their hatred of the fairer sex drove them to commit their atrocities.

I've watched one of this sick dude's video, and I have to say that I'm not hearing all that much of what I'd call 'misogyny' in it. In fact, I'd say there's more hatred of other dudes than there is hatred of women. Most of his 'criticisms' were directed at other guys, as opposed to women.

To try to pin something like this shooting spree down to something as basic as 'misogyny' is to seriously over-simplify the situation. In fact, to me it sounds like the kid has completely idealized 'women' and 'relationships', to the point where the consistent denial of these things he considers ideal ... literally drove him into a homicidal/suicidal rage.

The fact that the kid COULD be driven into this state by being rejected pretty much demonstrates to me that he was either suffering from some kind of mental illness, or he was raised in such an 'unrealistic' environment that he never properly learned the skills needed to cope with the 'unfairness' of life on the planet earth.
