I didn’t say that women don’t commit violent crimes or mass killing, It’s just men doing it disproportionately and we should understand why so that it can be resolved. It’s about a demographic of people committing crimes, shooting up schools, at a disproportionate rate to the rest of the population.
Because they are using UK-Ultra to disarm the general public. They say they are no longer doing this. The government lies
MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA project in which the agency conducted hundreds of clandestine experiments—sometimes on unwitting U. S. citizens—to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering and psychological torture. Though Project MK-Ultra lasted from 1953 until about 1973, details of the illicit program didn’t become public until 1975, during a congressional investigation into widespread illegal CIA activities within the United States and around the world.
Aside from the fact that men and not the same, much of the reason can be because men have a much wider variance from the mean than women. For example, most of the idiots are men and most of the geniuses are men. Mass shooters are at the extreme end of the variance from the mean. And, since the extremes are almost all men, the majority of mass shooters are men.
Of course, that is only part of the reasons. Generally, men are far more interested in guns than women and for that reason are more likely to be mass shooters.
Good question, I honestly can't even think of a single reason to shoot some random people.
It's not logical, they don't gain anything, so it has to have an emotional cause.
Males and females have the same emotions. Maybe it has to do with how we deal with emotions. I can see it being more likely for a man to punch someone, given that they're more likely to win the fight. Maybe this is an extreme case of that thought pattern?
Is it the ego to think they can get away with it? I don't think I ever heard of a mass shooter even trying to escape afterwards, so maybe not.
Are they being radicalized by outside parties spurring them on? Are men more prone to this perhaps?
Ultimately, I have no idea what is going on inside their head, so I have no idea.
because all of their role models (Trump Hannity Tucker) are males and those who do listen to their role models can't think on their own - have no sense of worth, live in a trailer or basement of their mothers houses, is the butt of jokes at work. isn't man enough to perform in bed because they are on line all night watching fox news, newsmax and One America typing "Lets Go Brandon" "etc.
Their Cadance I dont know but I've been told the 2020 election was definitely stole The more I type the more I achieve knowing the next election will be easier to steal! Sound off.. 1..2 Sound off. 3.4.
It is for the same reason that more males hunt and more female fear guns. It is for the same reason that little boys prefer rough and tumble, and war games and more little girls prefer to play house and to play with dolls. It is because they were born male and not female.
The typical male mass shooter is motivated by being rejected and/or mocked and/or harassed by 50 consecutive women. It tends to be a trend in their social media and manifestos.
I'm not justifying them doing the killings, but I happen to have been falsely accused of any number of crimes by women intent on ruining my life and reputation, and some of them succeeded in their evil intentions... may they rot in Hell when they perish too.
No... women just murder their own babies at home... or while they are in the womb... historically female murderers use poison, not guns or knives. It's pretty hard to poison an entire crowd of people, unless you use religion to do it somehow (Jim Jones used religion and women to poison his entire congregation to death, so get the point I'm making).
Men and wome nare equally evil, they just use differents means of committing their crimes.
Are you referring to fetuses... a fetus is not a baby any more that a caterpillar is a butterfly. It's called bodily autonomy... men kill and are way more violent than women.. even though women have the same access to the recourses to commit a mass murder but we don't see that actually happening.
Dude… your lettuce is alive by definition … so is bacteria. Denying something access to my organs by removing it is not murder it’s called bodily autonomy.
Because women aren't told the only emotions they're allowed to feel is anger/rage and violent. Emotionally healthy and balanced men aren't good candidates for joining the military or law enforcement. Empathy is taught as weakness. You hide all feelings except anger and willing to become violent because that's what's expected of you.
This was exactly what I was gonna say. Men are taught that letting out their feelings is a sign of weakness... n vulnerability is wrong... sad this is the case however, it's true
@Imcmullan Yeah, you're also taught at an early age that violence and anger ARE the solution. If you're having trouble with someone at school and you do the whole "tell a trusted adult" thing, often, it's made much worse. So you have to defend yourself.
A lot of men are exposed to a lot more violence that women from a younger age and it's an expected trait for all men to have. Also, while women have historically been ignored in their mental health needs, many places have overcompensated and now completely ignore men's mental health need. That's why a lot of parents say 'boys are easier to raise than girls'. Because they get to ignore whole aspects of a healthy upbringing.
You outlets are supposed to be working out, keep everything stuffed inside, drink yourself to death, or commit suicide to 'save everyone else the trouble because they have real problems.' They say the same damn thing to military fighting men, who have historically almost unanimously been men across every culture because you are told you are the 'disposable sex'.
This is not a justification for any shooting or act of violence committed against someone unless in self-defense or defense of others. This is just a personal train of thought from my experiences. Basically, be violent, be full of rage so you can fight better, tell nothing to anyone, you are disposable and you have no value other than to fight and die, and if you think life is hard, kill yourself, as soon as possible so you don't trouble anyone else.
Simple they're the more violent sex. From terrorism to serial killings to wars being waged, men are proven to being the fierce and prolific killers of all the history of mankind. Congratulations fellas. You can have this one. We give birth and you destroy life and we are supposed to be the bad guys because you're afraid of paying for alimony after a divorce? Wtf?
It's been proven that the same sex parent is crucial to the child's development. These mass shooters were all fatherless and left with their mother, who you claim are inherently better... kind of weird how the superior gender (women) can't raise their sons to be a decent person, but a man who is born "violent" and "evil" somehow manage to pull it off. How is this possible? The only explanation I can think of is that you're just spewing bullshit.
And the question being asked wasn't "are the majority of violent crimes committed by men" because we already know the answer to that question is "yes" the question was WHY is that the case? Congratulations on your worthless comment that added nothing to the conversation being had. Try to stay on topic next time.
@sirderpsalot123 Eliot Roger had both parents present at home and he did what he did. I know Trump rambled a few things at the NRA doesn't make it true. Having single parents in no way shape or form indicative of a mass shooting or bad development.
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 Children with abstinence fathers are at a higher risk of criminal activity. It's been proven by countless studies.
"Having single parents is no way shape or form indicative of a mass shooting or bad development." "Bad development" is the part that really makes me uninterested in having any sort of debate with you. Suggesting that parents don't play a huge role in the social and physiological development of their children is probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard anyone say.
If you can come up with anything worth responding to, I'll do that, if not, have a good night.
and it's worth pointing out, this wasn't the main point I was trying to make. If women are the superior sex and are inherently better than men, then they should do a better job at raising their kids. That's what I was getting at.
@sirderpsalot123 I never said that parents don't have an influence on the development of their children. I said that having single or homosexual parents is not way shape or form indicative of bad development. Depends on who they raise you, not if they are single or their sexual orientation.
@This_Is_My_, Opinion8 "I never said that parents don't have an influence on the development of their child" is a father not a parent? You don't think that a father abandoning their kid will have a negative impact?
" higher yes, by how much? Is such a big difference that is ever worth considering?" Yes. I think it's worth considering. I think there are other things to take into consideration as well - instead of just saying "men, bad and women, good" like the opinion owner.
It seems you're taking offense because you feel like I'm attacking single moms and lesbians couples with a son- that isn't the case. I'm talking about boys who grow up knowing that their father didn't want them. I'm talking about if men really were as terrible as people in this comment thread are claiming, then these kids who grew up with only a female influence, should be thriving, instead of being at a higher risk (even if it's only a slightly higher chance) of being a criminal.
@sirderpsalot123 I never said that any parent leaving doesn't make an impact.
I never said women good and men bad.
You are also talking about gay couples and single fathers with children.
Thing is... I asked you if the difference between being raised by a single parent or same sex parents makes that much of a difference. You said yes. You also said that if being in those conditions was so great than children should be thriving.
But have you search about this to make those claims? I have. While is true that they are more at risk, it's a insignificant amount. It's by far better to have same sex parents or a single parent than to be raised by a bad heterosexual couple. Statistically.
I'm NOT talking about SINGLE FATHERS with children. I'm talking about FATHERLESS households. Boys who AREN'T raised with their same sex parent ( THE FATHER. NOT TWO MOMS, NOT TWO DADS. THE FATHER) in the picture who are at a higher risk of becoming a criminal.
"Higher yes, by how much? Is such a big difference that is worth considering?" You were talking about boys raised in FATHERLESS HOUSEHOLDS being at a higher risk of criminal activity, correct? (You even acknowledged that this is true) My answer was yes, we should take that FACT into consideration, along with other things into consideration - instead of saying that all men are naturally violent and women are naturally better, like the OPINION OWNER said (The woman who wrote the opinion. I never said YOU said that. )
I also never said anything about a heterosexual COUPLE. A "couple" means TWO parents, I am ONLY talking about FATHERLESS HOUSEHOLDS, meaning BOYS who were raised by A woman (ONE person who is a female)
My entire first comment was SARCASTIC. I don't think women are better than men. I don't think men are better than woman. I was saying that IF women are better (they aren't) and IF men were naturally violent (we aren't) then these boys who were raised WITHOUT that negative violent influence (the FATHER being that negative influence.) They should be thriving and NOT shooting up schools.
Households with BOTH (not just the father... because again, I was NEVER talking about a FATHER being IN the picture) the FATHER and MOTHER, are less likely to become criminals and are more likely to be successful. When I said "but men can pull it off" THIS is what I was saying... same sex parent, the father, crucial to same to his development.
I'm not trying to be a dick, but fucking read what's in front of you before you respond.
I never said that YOU said men are bad and women are good, I said the OPINION OWNER said that.
@sirderpsalot123 At no point I established that I was talking just about houses without a father. I always said single parent. Children raised in a single parent household have higher chance to not do so well on life. Regardless if the parent is the mother or the father.
I don't agree with he opinion owner that all men are inherently evil or inherently worse parents. I also say, because I have seen the stats, that single parent households (mother or father), statistically have a worse impact, but not that much worse. While the odds of them doing well is lower is not so lower that actually makes a significant difference.
I gave the example of homosexual parents as also not raised by a man and a woman who do well in life.
In resume, my take is that children need more than anything, someone at home loving and qualified. Man, woman, single, gay, who cares? All can raise children properly.
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 I brought up a father being crucial to child's development, for a very specific reason, a reason that you aren't comprehending.
I understand that's your take, it isn't mine, I don't agree with it. You disagree with me. That's fine. This is becoming painful. Have a good day, sir.
@sirderpsalot123 I don't know what point I missed. If is that children without a father are more likely to be criminals, according to the stats that is valid of any single parent household. Of course higher chance doesn't mean that is significantly higher.
Interesting question & it’s leading me on a quest to investigate & as for my answer I’ll have to get back to you on this one as I have a few hundred reports to read through.
No simple answer, the only way to point you in the right direction is a lot of mental health problems. Officially men are meant to find their purpose in life, make a living/name for themselves, become leaders of their household, etc, ad if men fail at a lot of things and the negativity sets in it can become highly destructive. Mass shootings are unfortunately just one of the things that men do in these self-destructive reactions.
Well there is only male and female. You are right women are just as capable of doing evil stuff as men are. I don't know the reason for this but that is not to say that it can't or won't happen.
From what I think is that for some reason or another women like to be more secretive when they do something bad and men like to have the credit of doing it. But it can go both ways.
Obviously not all men or all women are evil. but the ones who are watch out.
@Koneko911 No it's because mental health is sporadically addressed even though we're aware that the suicide rate is very high for men (75% - especially middle-aged men) in the US (as well as the UK and Australia), yet I'll see twenty stories covering the salaries of female basketball players before one mention about this, male-dominated homelessness, or any other topic that has to do with mens' mental health unless it's being demonized, labeled as toxic, or simply dismissed. Oh, and that we're defective girls.
Evidence of mens' mental health slipping down a sharp decline has been known for almost a decade, and you don't need a telescope for the possibilities/causes to look obviously big in the lens, and whatever's being done about it simply isn't much despite the possible causes not being hard to identify - money, loneliness, chronic rejection, unemployment, inability to support, divorce, isolation from children, paternity fraud, false accusations, baby-trapping, college double standards for alcohol, consent, rape and loss of scholarships, domestic violence punching bag with less support groups than stray dogs, and on and on.
The APA released its Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Girls and Women back in 2007. Guess when it released its Guidelines for Physical Practice With Boys and Men. 2019. I call this the 'Societal Suicide Gender Gap', except it's measured in years instead of money. According to its Official Societal Give-a-Shit/Back Burner Status Chart: Suicide, it shows men/boys are twelve years behind women/girls.
In America, we breed women = royalty, men = handyman/pack mule/wallet/predator.
@Koneko911 UK's got a knife violence problem with numbers pretty close to the US's assault with a deadly weapon category, only the US has five times the population.
Men are taught that a big part of their worth and power comes from their ability to do violence. Whether that be as heroes, soldiers, protectors or whatever. That’s the aspiration. It doesn’t take much for that to be twisted and for a guy who is feeling powerless or bullied to reassert himself by choosing a path of violence.
I think the problem is that part is still here but we teach people now to be selfish and not responsible. Selfish people become villains. My dad used to tell me that the only difference between a hero and villain is that a hero puts other’s needs above his own. A villain always puts himself first. We’ve raised a selfish generation. We’ve raised a generation where people allow themselves to be villains in small ways every day by putting themselves first. So is it any wonder they become villains in big ways?

Probably because women have always had an easier time getting validation or just mental/emotional support from society, the world, than men have.
Men are always often expected to be on their own or be self-reliant, if a guy is going through a difficult or hard time in his life, he is more often than women expected to take or accept responsibility for his life.
So this just feels more men with anger and rage and frustration and they just feel like giving up and probably what motivates them to do these killings, is they have the mindset: "if I can't be happy, then no one will be happy", they want others to feel their pain that they are going through.
In a society where boys are defective girls and men are disposable ATM machines, seeking mental health treatment is considered emasculating in some places and even when done tends to result in a pill pusher writing big pharma a paycheck for life in order to put them on meds that aren’t fully understood, many of which lead to permanent brain damage. The sewer pipe of Hollywood spews violence and explosions and glorifies the people involved. The media makes homicidal maniacs famous.
Because the male species was created with a brain with a smaller emotional processing area. In their true, masculine state, they need to be ready to galvanize and protect their tribe/nation/country/ family from i vaders and predators. Protection necessitates killing. Look at how mean need to be with their buddies. Not unlike a platoon. This necessary male makeup is being chaneled in destructive ways.
Several factors, some biological and some social: testosterone, higher level of psychological and physical variability among men (i. e., the top 1% most aggressive males will be far more aggressive than the top 1% aggressive females), and difficulties and confusion in the formation of masculinity in an increasingly unstable society with little sense of community.

Could be me in that have a tendency to carry grudges. They've got their feelings hurt by some buddy in those organizations. Lost their jobs, failed their school classes, their girlfriends walked out on them. If they felt that low why didn't they put a damn bullet in their freaking head. These people haven't learned that society is not their target their precious mother and father protected them from society. Not my precious little s*** head. Society has taken away the disciplinary power of the educators and the parents. They've had public execution over the history of mankind. Which deterred people from stepping over the boundaries of our lives our children. I'm getting tired of the touchy feeling people that every time somebody gets shot. We got to take away the guns from everybody. We have the most stringent gun laws in the country. Nobody follows the rules not even our government they're a bunch of spineless little wimps.
Op. Ok, I agree. Discipline needs to be balanced with reason and coaching. We need more positive male role models to set a standard. Our wildly gynocentric education system is a big part of the problem as well.
There's a theory I'm reading on this post that's suggesting that men aren't as smart as women and they have smaller brains. I'm having a hard time believing that theory is true.

Here we go again with bashing men as perpetrators of violence.
Brenda Spencer was 16 years old when she shot 11 people. 2 people died and 9 injured.
Nasim Aghdam shot up the YouTube HQ
Tashfeen Malik - San Bernardino Shooter, 14 Killed
Jennifer San Marco - Goleta Post Office Shooting, 6 Killed
Amy Bishop - University of Alabama Shooting, 3 Killed injured 3
Laurie Dann - Winnetka Elementary Shooting Spree, 1 Killed injured several
Latina Williams - Louisiana Technical College, 2 Killed
Although female shooters are rare, they are still very possible. Let's stop making this about gender
I didn’t say that women don’t commit violent crimes or mass killing, It’s just men doing it disproportionately and we should understand why so that it can be resolved. It’s about a demographic of people committing crimes, shooting up schools, at a disproportionate rate to the rest of the population.
Because they are using UK-Ultra to disarm the general public. They say they are no longer doing this. The government lies
MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA project in which the agency conducted hundreds of clandestine experiments—sometimes on unwitting U. S. citizens—to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering and psychological torture. Though Project MK-Ultra lasted from 1953 until about 1973, details of the illicit program didn’t become public until 1975, during a congressional investigation into widespread illegal CIA activities within the United States and around the world.
Aside from the fact that men and not the same, much of the reason can be because men have a much wider variance from the mean than women. For example, most of the idiots are men and most of the geniuses are men. Mass shooters are at the extreme end of the variance from the mean. And, since the extremes are almost all men, the majority of mass shooters are men.
Of course, that is only part of the reasons. Generally, men are far more interested in guns than women and for that reason are more likely to be mass shooters.
Good question, I honestly can't even think of a single reason to shoot some random people.
It's not logical, they don't gain anything, so it has to have an emotional cause.
Males and females have the same emotions. Maybe it has to do with how we deal with emotions. I can see it being more likely for a man to punch someone, given that they're more likely to win the fight. Maybe this is an extreme case of that thought pattern?
Is it the ego to think they can get away with it? I don't think I ever heard of a mass shooter even trying to escape afterwards, so maybe not.
Are they being radicalized by outside parties spurring them on? Are men more prone to this perhaps?
Ultimately, I have no idea what is going on inside their head, so I have no idea.
because all of their role models (Trump Hannity Tucker) are males and those who do listen to their role models can't think on their own - have no sense of worth, live in a trailer or basement of their mothers houses, is the butt of jokes at work. isn't man enough to perform in bed because they are on line all night watching fox news, newsmax and One America typing "Lets Go Brandon" "etc.

Men do the same thing, outrageous number of women are harassed and assaulted by men, but we don't see them shooting up concerts or schools.
No... women just murder their own babies at home... or while they are in the womb...
historically female murderers use poison, not guns or knives. It's pretty hard to poison an entire crowd of people, unless you use religion to do it somehow (Jim Jones used religion and women to poison his entire congregation to death, so get the point I'm making).

Mass murderers typically plan their attack for weeks, months, or years because they actually care about something.
I never met a woman who cared about anything enough to become a mass murderer.
You dont even care enough about the definition of life to bother killing it.
You're part of the problem actually.
Dude… your lettuce is alive by definition … so is bacteria. Denying something access to my organs by removing it is not murder it’s called bodily autonomy.
Lettuce doesn't' have a brain and a heart and isn't your own offspring.
It's called Maternal Instinct... and you don't have it... you're every bit as much a murderer as the guy who gunned people down with an AR15.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but fucking read what's in front of you before you respond.
I never said that YOU said men are bad and women are good, I said the OPINION OWNER said that.
* households with both parents, NOT just a single father. Was never talking about a single father. Their kids are more likely to be successful.
*absent fathers. Not abstinence. 🙄
@sirderpsalot123 At no point I established that I was talking just about houses without a father. I always said single parent. Children raised in a single parent household have higher chance to not do so well on life. Regardless if the parent is the mother or the father.
I don't agree with he opinion owner that all men are inherently evil or inherently worse parents.
I also say, because I have seen the stats, that single parent households (mother or father), statistically have a worse impact, but not that much worse. While the odds of them doing well is lower is not so lower that actually makes a significant difference.
I gave the example of homosexual parents as also not raised by a man and a woman who do well in life.
In resume, my take is that children need more than anything, someone at home loving and qualified. Man, woman, single, gay, who cares?
All can raise children properly.
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 I brought up a father being crucial to child's development, for a very specific reason, a reason that you aren't comprehending.
I understand that's your take, it isn't mine, I don't agree with it. You disagree with me. That's fine. This is becoming painful. Have a good day, sir.
@sirderpsalot123 I don't know what point I missed. If is that children without a father are more likely to be criminals, according to the stats that is valid of any single parent household. Of course higher chance doesn't mean that is significantly higher.
Sure we can agree to disagree. Have a good day.
Interesting question & it’s leading me on a quest to investigate & as for my answer I’ll have to get back to you on this one as I have a few hundred reports to read through.
No simple answer, the only way to point you in the right direction is a lot of mental health problems. Officially men are meant to find their purpose in life, make a living/name for themselves, become leaders of their household, etc, ad if men fail at a lot of things and the negativity sets in it can become highly destructive. Mass shootings are unfortunately just one of the things that men do in these self-destructive reactions.
Well there is only male and female. You are right women are just as capable of doing evil stuff as men are. I don't know the reason for this but that is not to say that it can't or won't happen.
From what I think is that for some reason or another women like to be more secretive when they do something bad and men like to have the credit of doing it. But it can go both ways.
Obviously not all men or all women are evil. but the ones who are watch out.
Point of note, why are the majority of shooters American males.
it’s a global site and well, the rest of us have these things happen really rarely.
Up until Dunblane handguns had been legal, however other than that attack no one ever felt like shooting up schools, like ever.
Because in America we breed narcissistic assholes
@Koneko911 No it's because mental health is sporadically addressed even though we're aware that the suicide rate is very high for men (75% - especially middle-aged men) in the US (as well as the UK and Australia), yet I'll see twenty stories covering the salaries of female basketball players before one mention about this, male-dominated homelessness, or any other topic that has to do with mens' mental health unless it's being demonized, labeled as toxic, or simply dismissed. Oh, and that we're defective girls.
Evidence of mens' mental health slipping down a sharp decline has been known for almost a decade, and you don't need a telescope for the possibilities/causes to look obviously big in the lens, and whatever's being done about it simply isn't much despite the possible causes not being hard to identify - money, loneliness, chronic rejection, unemployment, inability to support, divorce, isolation from children, paternity fraud, false accusations, baby-trapping, college double standards for alcohol, consent, rape and loss of scholarships, domestic violence punching bag with less support groups than stray dogs, and on and on.
The APA released its Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Girls and Women back in 2007. Guess when it released its Guidelines for Physical Practice With Boys and Men. 2019. I call this the 'Societal Suicide Gender Gap', except it's measured in years instead of money. According to
its Official Societal Give-a-Shit/Back Burner Status Chart: Suicide, it shows men/boys are twelve years behind women/girls.
In America, we breed women = royalty, men = handyman/pack mule/wallet/predator.
@Screamsgutter I would try and get men actually talking about mental health and not shaming each other about it.
Save you typing a load of stuff really.
Men are pretty much the reason mens mental health is a huge issue.
It's not a mental health issue. If it was other countries would have mass shootings everyday life we do. It's another reason
Yes, that's also part of the problem too.
@Koneko911 UK's got a knife violence problem with numbers pretty close to the US's assault with a deadly weapon category, only the US has five times the population.
@Screamsgutter not nearly as deadly as assault gun murders
@Screamsgutter do not go down the violent crime comparison,
There is zero comparison and knife crime is within certain areas n sectors.
Men are taught that a big part of their worth and power comes from their ability to do violence. Whether that be as heroes, soldiers, protectors or whatever. That’s the aspiration. It doesn’t take much for that to be twisted and for a guy who is feeling powerless or bullied to reassert himself by choosing a path of violence.
I think the problem is that part is still here but we teach people now to be selfish and not responsible. Selfish people become villains. My dad used to tell me that the only difference between a hero and villain is that a hero puts other’s needs above his own. A villain always puts himself first. We’ve raised a selfish generation. We’ve raised a generation where people allow themselves to be villains in small ways every day by putting themselves first. So is it any wonder they become villains in big ways?
Probably because women have always had an easier time getting validation or just mental/emotional support from society, the world, than men have.
Men are always often expected to be on their own or be self-reliant, if a guy is going through a difficult or hard time in his life, he is more often than women expected to take or accept responsibility for his life.
So this just feels more men with anger and rage and frustration and they just feel like giving up and probably what motivates them to do these killings, is they have the mindset: "if I can't be happy, then no one will be happy", they want others to feel their pain that they are going through.
In a society where boys are defective girls and men are disposable ATM machines, seeking mental health treatment is considered emasculating in some places and even when done tends to result in a pill pusher writing big pharma a paycheck for life in order to put them on meds that aren’t fully understood, many of which lead to permanent brain damage. The sewer pipe of Hollywood spews violence and explosions and glorifies the people involved. The media makes homicidal maniacs famous.
Because the male species was created with a brain with a smaller emotional processing area. In their true, masculine state, they need to be ready to galvanize and protect their tribe/nation/country/ family from i vaders and predators. Protection necessitates killing. Look at how mean need to be with their buddies. Not unlike a platoon. This necessary male makeup is being chaneled in destructive ways.
Several factors, some biological and some social: testosterone, higher level of psychological and physical variability among men (i. e., the top 1% most aggressive males will be far more aggressive than the top 1% aggressive females), and difficulties and confusion in the formation of masculinity in an increasingly unstable society with little sense of community.
Could be me in that have a tendency to carry grudges. They've got their feelings hurt by some buddy in those organizations. Lost their jobs, failed their school classes, their girlfriends walked out on them. If they felt that low why didn't they put a damn bullet in their freaking head. These people haven't learned that society is not their target their precious mother and father protected them from society. Not my precious little s*** head. Society has taken away the disciplinary power of the educators and the parents. They've had public execution over the history of mankind. Which deterred people from stepping over the boundaries of our lives our children. I'm getting tired of the touchy feeling people that every time somebody gets shot. We got to take away the guns from everybody. We have the most stringent gun laws in the country. Nobody follows the rules not even our government they're a bunch of spineless little wimps.
Anonymous. Boys don't need more beatings and discipline. Boys need more love and acceptance to grow into healthy adults.
Beating people is not the answer to stop violence.
@KrakenAttackin I said discipline you can have discipline without beating. There is a big difference
Op. Ok, I agree. Discipline needs to be balanced with reason and coaching. We need more positive male role models to set a standard. Our wildly gynocentric education system is a big part of the problem as well.
I agree Amen to your viewpoint.@KrakenAttackin our society has demasculating society. Needs to be a true balance.
There's a theory I'm reading on this post that's suggesting that men aren't as smart as women and they have smaller brains. I'm having a hard time believing that theory is true.
He said he likes me, what does it mean?
He said I'm pretty, what does it mean?
He says I have a nice butt, what does it mean?
Lol. I get so annoyed by those questions
@WhiteBoyChill
They should create a section just for the "what does it mean" questions.
