It was definitely a straw man.  I&#x27;m a dude and I don&#x27;t live in fear of a shooter, and I don&#x27;t get the impression many women do either.<p>My point is: We&#x27;re quick to claim victory as society grows more tolerant and race&#x2F;sex matter less, but I think we claim it too soon.  That young white men feel entitled to shoot people when their lives don&#x27;t work out (and apparently others don&#x27;t) is as real an imbalance as wage gaps, etc.
