I just looked up mass-shooting stats in the US (data going back to 1966) and 98% have been committed by men - no sentencing bias there.


Mass shootings are a statistically insignificant portion of all violent crime.

They're just emotionally visceral and newsworthy, which is why we think it's a bigger problem than it is in reality.


When women are statistically fewer of the high achieving people in society we say it must be because of socialization, because women and men are equal. How is it that this is because men are simply violent? So are men just women with an added propensity for violence?


I see you have no actual interest in the discussion and just want confirmation of your beliefs. I'm sure you'll find plenty in the depth of the internet. Good luck, and have a great day!
