Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that all of the shooters in the recent spate of our country's massacres are male. 

male gunmen

 

I have followed the commentary closely and not one person has made this distinction to my mind.

If anyone can explain it I would welcome it. Said another way, why don't females engage in such carnage?

On this subject and on all the other issues of the day I continue to say the women must lead!

Very interesting observation. How are things different in Germany and England - who both have female heads of state? What are the differences politically - but most of all socially?

Glad we do not give our little dials tpy guns....
Notice also Wonder Woman used no guns.

You forgot about Tashfeen Malik (one of the San Bernadino shooters). https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/san-bernardino-california-shooters/

All the shooters recently, not recently and remotely. Almost every mass murderer everywhere throughout history. This is a hot topic among many women.

It is absolutely not womens' job to fix this. Men need to own it.

My children were not even given water guns when little and rifelry was a one of the things they weren’t allowed to participate in at camp. My cousin’s grandchildren hid in the closet in Parkland and gratefully survived, my other cousin’s son survived the Brooklyn hospital shooting by playing dead. Looking around to see who to blame is not going to stop the insanity —the reality is that there is no justification for the millions and millions of guns on the street.

Bravo Jane!!!! You said in a much kinder way than I was going to.
Men need to take responsibility and accountability with themselves and each other. Women have been leading since Eve.

I think it is time to bring back LYSISRATA. For those of you who are not familiar with that play by Aristophanes, the women in it declare to their husbands and significant others -KEEP MAKING WAR, NO SEX! In the play it worked.

That must change. Been pondering it since I read this

before I read your blog. I am considering somewhere bet. six-10 or so tweets.

The 'gentler' sex grows and gives life, and is usually the predominant parent raising the children, in answer to Fred's question. All comments above are very good, especially those about roles of men.

I'll be your huckleberry . Val Kilmer . Wyatt , Virgil and Morgan . Tombstone . Yeah Derf ... The word I wanna use is INHERENT . Inherent in our culture from the hunter gatherer times . Granted the inertia or forward progress is slowing . Did you wear a skirt as a kid or a Roy Rogers twin six gun holster. Were you quick like Johnny Ringo ? But not quick enough for Doc ? This is about Anthropology Derf . How did we get here and where are we coming from ? Diane carries a 357 Smith and Wesson with a hair trigger . Claims its for rattlesnakes . Hmm . I wonder . She wears jeans and cowboy boots . T shirts . Me ? I wear the skirt in the family . Long story for another time . Woman have always had a battle on their hands . Suffrage for women . Woman in combat . Woman in cockpits . Woman in law enforcement . Sexual prey . Oh my goodness . Woman don't have to sign up for the draft at age 18 . That needs to change . Right ? I wouldn't want to be in the same room with an armed Linda Sarsour or Ashley Judd or....... But back to the study of human societies and culture . Woman are getting it going but they haven't gotten quite to the point of being mass killers . At the rate they are going it probably won't take long . Shit . Diane keeps a Mossberg Pump by the front door . Loaded with .00 buckshot .

Men are hunters women make babies and keep the home. Few Bonnie’s more Clyde’s. It’s how this world was made. No further explanation required

Coming from you . Very surprising Bambe !

I agree with Jane. It is a huge discussion among women.

Although I do believe that it is everyone's job to fix it, male and female. The shooters don't discriminate as to who their victims are, they shoot both men and women and adults and children. We all need to come together to fix this, NOW!!!!
