Alternet uses Sandy Hook to bash men -- again.

6 examples of related incidents by men in America, out of ~150 million American men. That's about 0.000004% of men.

Yeah, what is it with all those men, huh? Unstable killers, all of them.

So the author wants to know what it is about men that make them want to commit horrible crimes?

I want to know what it is about men that enabled them to rush into that school to stop the gunman?

Or what about the first responders who scaled the stairs of the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11/2001?

Or what about the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy?

And what of the countless men who give up their own lives to take a bullet, jump into dangerous waters, or rush into burning buildings to save someone else?

Funny none of this is explored in the article.

What Is it About Men That They're Committing These Horrible Massacres?

I think one part is "Permissive Moms".

I've both met and dated a few women who are "permissive moms", which means they don't understand what discipline is, and they think being permissive is loving their kids. It's not. If you loved your kids you would discipline them appropriately, so they can learn self-control, and how to constructively vent feelings without shooting the place up.

Boys, as a group, tend to be more trouble to discipline as they get older, than girls. Boys don't have the need to please others as girls tend to do. And boys are simply wired to push boundaries. So they need someone with a clear vision of what is appropriate for their age, and what actions need discipline.

Arrggghhhhh, I want to pull my freakin' hair out sometime!!!

But we’re talking white, middle class men -- the members of this society who have the most privilege and the most power.

THIS!!!^ This is why no rational debate can ever happen pertaining to acts of violence like this because all the people who are so apparently 'dumbfounded as to why this happens' all come with this premise. There own preconceived notions precludes them from understanding why. Besides, it's much easier and short term gratifying to just ban guns than to start a debate about the perceived male privilege in society.

Lets talk about all the mother's who stick their kids in ovens and drown them in bathtubs. Or poison them.

Men may be outwardly more violent but women are just as deadly.

Short answer: no one knows what makes guys more likely to go off the deep end. It does appear that men are more prone to this particular kind of insanity, but there haven't really been studies done to suggest why.

None of which matters to a crazy person.

I could spend all day arguing with people in the comments section of that website.

Good lord. So much misunderstanding.

That was completely pointless and stupid- like all mainstream media (yea, right, it's 'Alternative'- pfft). It just basically said, "uh, what's wrong with men?" and then just went through a history of nutbags that most people already know about, and even if they don't, it accomplishes NOTHING.

FUCK mainstream media and writers- they're part of the problem. By never truly investigating the real truth or causes, they just add to the overall hopelessness.

No. 1 cause of young men and boys cracking up? FEMALE FEMINIST TEACHERS. When is the country going to start putting them under the microscope? There needs to be thousands of boys & young men coming forward telling about the abuse from these sick freaks. A whole book. And where are the MOTHERS? Don't any mothers even CARE about how their SONS are being treated in school? What a bunch piece of shit MOTHERS we have in this country. Oh, that's right, Feminism is more important than the failure of their sons & the abuse. Girl Writes What is the ONLY one addressing ANY of these issues.

Right, boys just suddenly became stupid out of NOWHERE and started failing and becoming psycho. You would have to be the world's shittiest detective to not see what is going on here! None of this shit happened before the wholesale take over in the schools by Feminist teachers and all the peodophile hysteria driving men away from the profession.

We could equally well blame the mother - people who write articles like this use a horrific event to push their own hate filled agenda. Violence is committed by women too and there are many complex reasons for the development of a serial killer.

buster2209 · 2012-12-19T13:58:14+00:00

Something I think is being overlooked is that when men mentally snap, they tend to take people with them as opposed to when women snap, they don't tend to inflict so much collateral damage thus the media doesn't glorify it as much. I mean, more bodies = a juicier story
