Addressing misogyny and the patriarchy is pretty fucking important. Almost every single mass shooter has a history of misogyny and having harmed and/or threatened and scared women in their lives and circles. Never once has patriarchy been a laughing matter.
University in California did a comprehensive study of school/mass/spree shooters of all ages & found that the common link between them ALL is a vehement hatred of women (80% had a history of domestic violence). Most killed a female relative/gf/wife immediately prior to the event
