With respect ... duh. It's a guy thing.
And all sons of pretty tweaked women, I would wager.
It could be that behind every seriously disturbed male 'toon, there's a seriously disturbed woman.
I'm a sexist, sue me. We "liberated" women are better off recognizing a fact of nature: Males, in the form of men, are our sole protectors. From day one.
I'm grateful for them.
We all know another guy whose mom was “pretty tweaked” maybe starting with the fact her dad named her Stanley.
“...and all sons of pretty tweaked women, I would wager,,,”
I made this exact point to my husband last night - that the mothers (although I do feel somewhat sorry for at least the Ct one) had most likely bought into the feminist lies - were absent and disconnected from their sons, and had other priorities than raising their children. The father figures in too, of course, but if no one is there for the sons, figuratively if not literally, then they feel alienated, estranged and hopeless. Someone has to be there for them and it ought to be their mothers.
I am not excusing the shooters, but especially the high school aged ones had not yet fully developed their moral higher brain functions and needed more parental guidance.
Apparently the brain is still maturing as far as its capacity for moral decision making through 25 - and boys mature more slowly.
Mothers have abdicated their true role because it no longer confers status. These boys/men lacked a feeling of connection brought on by true empathy - the mother’s job.
