This is what happens when ideology infects a subject. It becomes the baseline, and therefore unbiased. The buzzwords turn into academic terms.

but the truth may be that as a culture we're simply less tolerant to women outside the norm of acceptable behavior, and we don't see men as "needing" help.

LMAO. The second part of this sentence is certainly true, but the first? It's the complete opposite of reality. This is why feminism is absolutely useless as a social "science": they must always portray women as the victims relative to men.

I agree with you it's disgusting that feminist ideology would find its way into an article like that, and I upvoted this post because I appreciate you posting it here, but I did want to point out one thing I noticed:

This is nearly an impossible article to write; no one knows why men are more inclined to commit large-scale acts of murder. Any ideas are just that: ideas.

So they do clearly state that nothing in the article has been scientifically proven, since nobody actually knows the answer to the question. So although it is definitely annoying that they worked this one into there, they are not passing it off as scientific fact.
