as small as a world and as large as alone

Someone else keep a running tally on how many people paint this dude as either “misunderstood” “mentally unhinged” or a “madman” rather than addressing the real issue of our whack-ass sexist culture of dudes thinking they’re entitled to women’s bodies because I…don’t have the energy today.

overwhelmingly, mass killers are white men from middle class or wealthy families. they are taught that they are entitled to make everyone else suffer if they don’t get their way. this is a correlation that exists

but I spend all my time in the wake of these incidents repeatedly trying to put out fires when I see everyone around me saying that disability causes this kind of violence. In the last week a study came out that used falsified data and unreliable sources to present a “significant link” between autism and mass killing, and between TBI and mass killing. this is the correlation that people are citing in national speeches, using to make Federal policy, perpetuating in their news articles and in the quotes they give to journalists, and blatantly lying to the public in order to “prove.” this correlation does not exist and has been repeatedly proven not to exist.
