Killing unarmed people with a firearm should be emasculating. Just like in western flicks.<p>If you have accepted for some reason that you are evil scumbag, then that&#x27;s it. Now you choose whether you are man scumbag or boy scumbag. School shooters are usually already somewhat isolated and they usually end up dead. They don&#x27;t care getting isolated. They seem to care about posthumous fame.<p>I don&#x27;t mind if masculine is not good. What I&#x27;m trying to say is that seemingly <i>only</i> surefire way to get the status of a man is violence. Inventing some other certain and positive way to get the status of a man would be great. But in the meantime it would seem like a good idea to make the &quot;madman&quot; status less certain.<p>&gt;You won&#x27;t appreciably reduce mass shootings by verbally stripping mass murderers of their manhood, rather than just calling them evil. Sorry.<p>You can&#x27;t back that claim in any way. Sorry.
