Washington Post: ‘Time to Make Masculinity a Part of the Gun Debate’
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jun 2019 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 06/20/2019 11:26:03 AM PDT by detective

The Washington Post’s latest documentary is focused on what they suggest is the role masculinity plays in mass shootings in the U.S.

The WAPO documentary opens by indicating their have been over 150 mass shootings in America since 1966 and “all but three were committed by men.” They add, “And more broadly, the majority of gun violence in America is perpetrated by men.”

Having posited men in such a light, the documentary then shifts to masculinity–defining traits and characteristics–eventually placing masculinity at the root of mass shootings and suggesting current efforts to rein in masculine tendencies could be applied to limit gun crime.

The documentary lists “traits” of masculine as “control, power, independence, [and] entitlement.” They take these traits to the halls of academia for examination, with professors such as University of Arizona’s Jennifer Carlson asking, “What is it about guns that gets linked to masculinity? Or what is it about masculinity that guns address?”

The message from the Washington Post is simple.

They are a bunch of pansies.

The Solution is to castrate all men beyond a select few to be used as semen sources for the New Feminine State.

None of the white. . . After all, it’s white males who are the oppressors. Kill two birds, and all that, you know. . .

One small correction: White men are bad. (Black men killing every single day did not rate a mention by the Post.)

“And more broadly, the majority of gun violence in America is perpetrated by men.”

Is there a specific male demographic to look at or is that too inconvenient to mention?

It’s time to decide if we really need newspapers anymore.

“Pajama boy makes me want to punch Millennials.”

I despise millennials. Unfortunately I have two of my own.

As the comedian George Wallace often says “They need their a**es kicked.” These flacid losers and poltroons ooze weakness.

I can’t imagine why any man would vote Dem. Neither should conservatives. They publicly trash so many groups of people I can’s imagine they can win anything.

And destroy we that have them. Once they get started, what will there b to stop them?

Why the obsessive hatred of men by the Left - especially White men?

Most of their targeted group tend to be heterosexual?
