Mass shootings, including the recent Las Vegas massacre, are caused by "toxic masculinity," according to a professor at Columbia College Chicago.
Last week, shortly after the horrific shooting in Las Vegas, Philosophy professor Stephen Asma tweeted a link to an op-ed he had written for Aeon in 2016 arguing that "toxic masculinity fuels mass shootings."

"The facts of toxic masculinity are rarely discussed after mass shootings, as we beat the usual drums of gun control and mental health ... But consider the bigger evolutionary picture,' Asma writes in the op-ed. Social life requires the domestication of men ... Males must transform from little tyrants, competing for females, to selfless bodyguards and potential providers."
Asma then asserts that if a man is unable to obtain a partner, he remains "emotionally juvenile-aggressively impulsive, self-serving, and potentially violent," and may even "take up a disdainful hostility towards domestication itself."

You guys don't want to be emotionally juvenile-aggressively impulsive, self-serving, and potentially violent ... so you're going to have to give up your redneck gun loving, flag waving, All American ways ... and behave like the above idiot!
It’s for sure that the subject of those photos has never been accused of masculinity, even non-toxic masculinity.
Perhaps this professor can lead by example and have his tinkle toys surgically removed?
Social life requires the domestication of men ... Males must transform from little tyrants, competing for females, to selfless bodyguards and potential providers.”
What would feminist types think of this reasoning? I’ve heard them condemn ideas that somehow women are to domesticate single men. So this writer is saying, that an “undomesticated” male is likely to be a mass shooter. Well then, who exactly is supposed to “domesticate” such males?
perhaps toxic masculinity “envy” might be more on point.
Toxic masculinity: nice term for islamism
Those photos make my skin crawl...
Just another Marxist troll trolling one of our “college” campuses.
“Educated” retards.
Professor Asthma
He is giving an academic version of traditional values. Men get married, and devote their energy to taking care of their wives and children rather than fighting with other men. This is news?
I’m not sure how this applies to Paddock, as he was 64, had a lot of money, and a girlfriend.
The laughs should start at “Professor says...”
Fake News,
seriesly..
Everything is politicized. Mark of insanity.
...because sexually-frustrated men rebel against domestication.
Notice the only thing he has to back up this assertion is his own imagination and psycho babble.
These people actually believe all this baloney they spew forth! It is a mass delusion!
Guys who use the phrase “toxic masculinity” usually have boyfriends.....
Then he asserts sexual frustration as the driver...
Well except that the LV shooter was buying hookers left and right...
No one cares what collig professors and know-it-all students think or write in op-ed collig rags anymore.
Maybe this guy was a mirror image of Weinstein. Could be a plot for a movie.
