If you read my post then it was obvious that I was saying that obfuscating the gun control issue and shifting focus to some other political agenda is counter-productive and is a primary reason as to why nothing ever happens on gun control. If you think Elliot Rodgers wouldn’t have done what he did if he had just been lectured on toxic masculinity, then you’re delusional, just like how the conservatives that blamed Columbine on Marylyn Manson and video games were delusional. Gun control is the only solution, and then it must be followed by better mental health care. If you bothered read my post then you’d have known that this was my point. Instead, you just quoted it out of context presumably to make me look like some anti-woman asshole. I’d rather you just not say anything at all rather than libelous bullshit.
You assume too much.
I’m going to assume that you either agree with me (which would be giving you the benefit of the doubt) or are incapable of coherently voicing your opinion on this since you’re refusing to do it.
I already told you how I feel. Why you’re compelled to constantly put words into my mouth is beyond me.
If you want me to explain further, I think that looking at things in binary terms are silly. I agree gun control and mental health are the biggest issues. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to imagine that toxic masculinity might play a role. Doesn’t mean I think it the only factor, or the most important one. Don’t know what’s so hard to understand about this.
As to thinking you’re “anti-woman” or whatever, I’ve said nothing of the sort. Just mean it’s not out of character for you to put scare quotes around a phrase like toxic masculinity or say that other gender problems are “made-up.” A simple “you’re misunderstanding my meaning,” would’ve sufficed, not sure why you felt the need to argue with something I wasn’t saying, though I guess I’m not surprised at this point that you’d do that.
