Eye on the world: True manhood

In “Many school shooters, one common factor: a warped view of masculinity” The Christian Science Monitor notes that according to those who study mass shootings, the concept of masculinity doesn’t get enough attention. One sociologist says mass shooters, the majority of whom are male, are often “over-conforming to masculinity, because they perceive themselves, in some way or another, as emasculated…. It’s a terrible statement about American masculinity, to say that when you’re emasculated, one way to respond is to open fire.”
