They encouraged the victim to leave him is the usual reason.

Which sucks in the long run, because studying trends in gun violence could play a role in preventing it....and far and away the most prevalent trend among mass shooters is “male.”

Oh, it’s been a woman a couple times. I’m sure. If you attempt to talk about the fact that it’s predominantly men you’ll get inundated with MRAs talking about those female edge cases. Remember - it’s offensive to remind men that it’s mostly men committing violent crimes.

There was a prolonged thread about this on Gawker awhile back. The upshot was that if we talk about the fact that the vast majority of mass shooters are men, it would make men uncomfortable. And that’s just not fair.

This was not a random act of violence. This was not someone bent on killing as many people as possible. The fact that he entered the mall, left, and returned, tells me that this is a person who cased the area to ensure his intended victim was there. I know it’s early but I fully expect to hear that one of deceased was…

It’s looking more like DV. He called out a girl’s name when he walked in, apparently.

He shot 4 women at a Macy’s makeup counter. I know we’re not supposed to be jumping to conclusions, but I’ve seen this one before. #toxicmasculinity

A man carrying a rifle entered a Macy’s store at a mall in Washington state, shot dead four women and a man, and vanished into the night, police said.

Lots of nations have a lot of guns. But in the United States, guns *solve problems*. Also, it’s always a dude. Why does no one talk about that? It’s literally never been a woman, ever.

This misogynistic idiot think he is funny, this same phrase: When you are woman walking around with a hammer in your hand, you find yourself just looking for nails and seeing sexism in everything. Poor little thing, he probably spent 2 years looking for words in dictionary to write this sentence and now he is going to…

He is misogynistic cockroach, just look his comments at Brangelina thread he goes from post to post and lectures how women see sexism in everything and big man like him is here to correct us. Just ignore him, shame that Jezebel doesn’t ban these subhuman anymore.

Taking a moment to re-read and try to see where I went wrong with this. My days of meeting single women have been over for 20 years, but I wasn’t at all trying to position this to come off that way. I know nobody is owed anything from a woman, be it in a bar, party, date or event, etc...

I’m still not sure how this has anything to do with Brad Pitt, can we please stay on task? i know you’re new to Jezebel but here we like to focus on things that things that matter. this isn’t Gawker 2 with makeup tips. i really just want to see pictures of people’s cats

I can’t wait for the first “Please be a white guy” comment from some dumb fuck who didn’t read the article.

Oh no! A woman being sensitive! The things you poor men have to put up with!

That’s nice.

not here at least. That’s why I hide hear. Mostly outrage with only a little bit of “she could have been someone else’s wife *gag*.”

You know they don’t have to literally say “hey she belonged to another man” for their comment to be gross? We shouldn’t be thinking about this like “oh now she’ll never be in a marriage with another man” we should be thinking “this woman, valuable because she is a person, has been taken from this earth by a man who…

Unless someone is your property, no one can STEAL them... What with that someone presumably having free will.

Yes it is sexist.
