But female suicide bombers and one of the San Bernardino murderers, in just the past week alone disprove his most emphatic hypothesis.
I mean, declaring that women don't become mass murderers is 100% wrong. So does anything he wrote stand up, then?
Also, Countess Erzsebet Bathory of Hungary, just for fun.
- danharaj 11y agoI think a near-100% share and a categorical 100% of mass murders committed by men are close enough not to discount that particular observation. I think alienation, anger, and entitlement are the key ideas, and men are especially vulnerable to all 3 because the prevailing conceptions of manhood in many societies emphasize individuality, aggression, and hierarchical thinking amongst men. Granted, they emphasize those things in general. That's the picture of human being painted by neoliberalism. It affects men more. Men don't have something like feminism yet that allows them to resist these narratives and reclaim their male identity.
