@chaosprime@arthur_affect@AmyDentata Not every woman agrees with the notion of masculinity=violence -
@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect@AmyDentata i don't think anybody is making the assertion masculinity = violence, rather violence ∈ masculinity -
@chaosprime@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect@AmyDentata what's particularly relevant, why is it the US that has this the most? -
@Crispsarejoy
@chaosprime@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect Depends what "this" means. Toxic masculinity is global. School shootings, that's complex -
@Crispsarejoy
@chaosprime@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect School shootings in the US are a complex mix of toxic masc, gun culture, and US history. -
@AmyDentata@chaosprime@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect there are lots of guns and mental illness in Switzerland, and it's a patriarchal regime -
@AmyDentata@chaosprime@AmyFlatt1@arthur_affect but far fewer shootings - my money is on glamourisation of guns + warriorlike attitudes -
