California governor says gender needs to be part of gun violence conversation
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday urged leaders to discuss the role of misogyny and toxic masculinity in gun violence, pointing out that mass shooters “overwhelmingly, almost exclusively, are males, boys, men.”
“And I think that goes deep to the issue of how we raise our boys to be men, goes deeply to values that we tend to hold dear — power, dominance and aggression, over empathy, care, collaboration,” he continued. “That is a deeper conversation — forgive me — a more difficult one to have, but I want to just introduce that into this debate.”
Sure enough, the suspected gunman in this weekend’s shooting in Dayton, Ohio, had been suspended from his high school after creating a “rape list” of female classmates whom he wanted to sexually assault, according to The Associated Press. It’s a relentless pattern. As HuffPost’s Melissa Jeltsen wrote last year: “There’s only so many ways to say the same exact thing, over and over again.”
