Re: Sikh Shooting

Really? Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention to the media, but when were the last several killing sprees committed by women? Because if you're correct in your assertion that white men are no more likely to commit this kind of crime than any other group, 51% of gun-related killing sprees must be committed by women.

...I honestly don't think that's been the case. Unless female-driven mass killing sprees are notoriously unreported in the media. Which I doubt.

Was going to add 'except being male, obviously' as a clarification.

But I thought it went without need for mention.

Re: Sikh Shooting

[ariakas]

Eh, not to me it wasn't. My first reaction was like "holy shit really? women do this that much?!" - women are people too.

Idk having lived in Japan extensively where men go on killing sprees just like back home, the whole "this is not exclusive to white men" seemed so obvious it went without saying.

So, why aren't we discussing why it's (almost always) men committing these kinds of killings? Because with single victim homocides, while men still dominate the statistics like they do almost all other forms of violent crime, women still make up a fair percentage of murderers.

Why are mass killings different?

Re: Sikh Shooting

[(Anonymous)]

There was an article in cnn or Time.com about exactly that ('the overwhelming maleness of mass killings' I think it was called) and of course everyone went into the comments to say "but being a man doesn't mean I'm biologically predisposed to violence!"

And I got to thinking that no, surely not biologically, but what about being socialized for it? The culture of male dominance through violence, etc. I didn't comment because I'm not comfortable having an account in those websites, but it sort of surprised me that no one else had thought to bring it up.

Well in order to admit that large parts of our behaviour are socially programmed, you open the door to a specific, often leftist worldview that many people are either reluctant to hold or outright opposed to. If parts of our behaviour aren't "hardwired", but rather "programmed", they can be changed. Social change is possible. And that disrupts the status quo.

There are many people who would rather eat nails than consider socialization a factor, thusly. (Even those they'll gladly proclaim the benefits of spanking to raising well-behaved children. I'll like to see where that comes from in the "lizard brain" ;p).

If parts of our behaviour aren't "hardwired", but rather "programmed", they can be changed. Social change is possible. And that disrupts the status quo.

especially in a society where taking personal responsibility for our lives and our behaviors is so abhorrent. too many times people want to blame outside forces for the things that go wrong in their lives when it really just comes down to personal responsibility for their actions. they do douchey things and only come up with reasons as to why they did it, none of which involved 'I thought I could get away with it' or 'I just wanted to' or anything that would show they knew what they were doing.
