Why is it that men are the ones that commit these types of crimes when they lead sexless lives, entirely composed of (perceived, implied, imagined) rejection?

This. One million times.

I was a hopeless romantic at 13 so I'm comfortable with my world view, thanks.

**I think I love the idea of you**

When I read statements like yours I think to myself, this is going to be an interesting next 50 years in America, hope I get to see it.

My good friend is moving there because the taxes are low and houses are relatively cheap. He is oblivious to the right-wing politicos and the crazy shit that happens in the state.

Someone heard the word Eugenics, and was like Huzzah!!!

I agree that the term has become all encompassing. The problem is that America (the author included) is painting with to broad a brush here. The idea that bands like Arcade Fire, The National, Vampire Weekend and the like are "obscure" is laughable. They are clearly mainstream, unless your a bro, in which case they…

The Brooklyn Bro is Park Slope/Carroll Gardens/Boerum Hill/Dumbo/Brooklyn Heights/Kensington/Fort Greene/Prospect Heights/Windsor Terrace.

I'm going to disagree with you on the idea of hipsters being a type of "Bro". You seem to be conflating yupsters and hipsters. For one thing, real hipsters loathe sports. Bro's do not.
