Why is it always boys and men who do swatting?

  Here in Australia the incarceration rate of men vs women is about 12.5 : 1 So I'd guess the answer to your question is something like: for the same reasons that men commit the overwhelming majority of violent crime, which probably has something to do with evolution and testosterone and culture. https://www.statista.com/statistics/648093/australia-imprisonment-rate-by-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/648093/australia-impriso...

  I think it’s some kind of subculture, not sure whether women ever do it though but I suspect gaming to be somewhat involved, mainly shooting/war games where boys/men are in larger numbers

  That's the 4chan demographic.

  Boys and men are conservatively responsible for like 90% of violence, from suicide to dropping nukes.

    This - though increasingly, women have their finger on the nuclear button, and there are one or two I would not trust any more than the guys.

  Women invented "school shootings" though! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_sh...

    Interesting, I always loosely considered the Bath, Michigan incident the first “shooting” though it was actually a bombing, more so Mass School Violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster
