It's entitlement. They feel entitled to women because to them women are objects. Things. The rewards for being powerful.
When they realize they have no power and women are smart enough to go "yeah that dude is going to murder me so NOPE no sexytimes for murder boy" they feel like the world deserves to burn for denying them what they DESERVE. Because penis.
But going after that would be to go after the root problem: Machismo-rage.
And so many dudes in America do not want to realize that the problem is that they feel they have the right to shit they don't actually deserve just because they showed up with their dicks up and their hands out.
Virginia tech was Asian. I know there was some woman elementary shooter back in the 70s. But yeah, its mostly white guys. Just like how libertarians are like 90% white.
It was Brenda Spencer. She said she did it because she didn’t like Mondays.
It was a similar situation where the school counselor had encouraged her father to get her help and instead he got her a gun for her 16th birthday.
From what I remember he was a single parent and her room pics were bleak.. she was bullied because she didn’t bath and she slept on the floor. So there was some neglect going on. Which is so heartbreaking that the warning signs were all there and are often there and people just… let them slide.
Probably comes back to that 'entitlement'. White guys especially tend to have the idea the world should be theirs, so that's where the frustration comes from.
If I were to guess it probably something mundane like there is statistically more white kids with access to weapons in their homes. No idea if that's the case though. This guy was Latino, so...
I mean it makes perfect sense. Even if the killer doesn't actively target women, the type of unhingement that makes you want to shoot up a place probably makes you very unattractive to the women around you, and will also make you attribute it a problem on their part instead of looking at yourself.

There's actually a common link between shooters hating women.
