The failure of men in America?

I would say this most recent shooting is more along the lines of America failing men and boys than men failing.

For what it's worth, the Newtown Massacre to me is largely about the failure of men in America, and in particular the failure of men to raise up male children into men. The tragic monster that Mr. Lanza grew up into lived with Mom and ended up parking four bullets in her brain.

That so-called "failure of men" was precipitated by the women who evicted them from family life with the help of the female-friendly family court, as did Adam Lanza's mother.

What could men have done differently? Put down feminism with armed force and revoke the female right to vote? Men are a minority in a democracy. Despite the apparent numerical dominance of men in political office, they answer to the female voter, as the last election made clear.

At the end of the day we have the society that women want. And what women want is to be able to get rid of the fathers of their children but still take their money, and all the boys growing up without their fathers are a consequence of that.

Fuck you. You applaud men being treated like shit and boys getting left behind in school and what do you think we're gonna do? Protect you?

Na. No way. I aint protecting shit until you apologize and make it right.

Someone else here had to be reminded of Fight Club? "We are a generation of men raised by women"

1 man's actions condemn all 160,000,000 of us.

Ok, what does Andrea Yates say about American women?

The tragic monster that Mr. Lanza grew up into lived with Mom and ended up parking four bullets in her brain.

So it's men's fault that a woman raised this monster? Huh?

It's not so funny anymore. Look around at the squalid mess that America has made of its own terrain: the endless wastelands of free parking and slumping strip malls, the wilderness of tract housing subdivisions, the cities left cored, rotting, and stinking in the fall drizzle, the countless redundant roadways -- and while you're at it, take a good hard look at the depressing and disgraceful industrial boxes that school is conducted in, these euphemistically-named "facilities." We live in physical surroundings that are the perfect growth medium for serial killers, mass murderers, psychopaths with no feeling, and sado-masochists preoccupied only with the ritual orchestration of their own shame and guilt in the service of inflicting pain.

You are safer now in America than you were at any point in our past. Serial/spree killers are no more common (adjusting for population size) today than they were 100 years ago.

What matters now is that an epochal undertow of events is dragging this enormous nation into an economic convulsion that will inevitably turn political. I don't think that our society can be redeemed in its current form.

Our society that has produced unparalleled wealth, safety, and freedom is beyond redemption.

We have problems sure. There are areas for improvement. But hysteria isn't going to make that happen.

Notice, Mr. Lanza's chief instrument of death was the "Bushmaster." His weapon made him a "master" of something, at least, even if it was just the systematic slaughter of six-year-old kids and the women in charge of them.

He stole the gun from his mother. If she had owned a Colt AR-15 or a Smith & Wesson AR-15 he would have used that AR-15. It had nothing to do with the name and everything to do with the fact that it was there. Crazy people will do crazy things with whatever tools are available.

The net result is a nation that has turned men either into weaklings, fakes, or monsters.

When does this guy think humans were morally perfect?

And you who make it through to the other side will barely comprehend the monsters left behind, or how they made themselves that way.

There will always be monsters.
