According to this writer from Political Affairs website, the hypermasculinity that results with youth bulge has been caused by Capitalism and “ultra right dominance”.
Geeze, and I thought maybe the total lack of power of the women might have had a little to do with the testosterone overload.
“Kellner believes, according to the article, that “the male perpetrators [of mass killings] suffered from problems of socialization, alienation and the search for identity in a culture that holds up guns and militarism as potent symbols of masculinity.”
“Clearly, IMO, these are not just problems of culture, i.e. problems of male rage promoted by destructive “Rambo” images in popular culture. This is a problem of capitalism. Capitalism, especially under ultra-right dominance, which promotes war and imperialism as positive masculine occupations, has failed to provide a society in which personal fulfillment, community construction, and satisfactory methods of self-identification are readily available.
Grinding economic insecurity (not to mention poverty) and lack of access to more fulfilling occupations (in some communities intensified by racism and national oppression) are the modern characteristics of contemporary capitalism. To this is added the ultra right’s rejection of any rational notion that these kinds of issues are anything but personal problems.”

Typical leftist nonsense. This is materialist determinism. While a rising population certain fuels nationalism and a war machine, polygamy and Islam demand it.
There is capitalism in Gaza?
Is this article in English? The words don’t seem to mean anything.
