After several heinous and highly publicized mass shootings predictably done by — you guessed it: men — Noah Berlatsky responds to the never-ending "boys are at risk" and "masculinity is under siege" folderol by noting:
"Men aren't lonely. they just have guns.
Men are not killed by feminism. They’re not killed by femininity."

As we talk about the 'boy crisis' and crises of masculinity and the rise of the reactionary male right – not to mention the politics and meaning of gender itself – it behooves us to understand why violence is such a male endeavor, and what we might be able to do to lessen it."
