What’s revealed by the father of the Club Q shooter being more concerned about his son’s sexuality than the fact that he killed 5 people is that this heterosexual man hurt his son. Patriarchy and fascist propaganda, not queerness or drag queens, shaped his son into a killer.

“We found that 59.1% of mass shootings between 2014 and 2019 were DV-related and in 68.2% of mass shootings, the perpetrator either killed at least one partner or family member or had a history of domestic violence.” injepijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I don’t know exactly how that man raised his child, but I know that patriarchal violence is connected to mass shootings, and if men were honest we’d admit that we can see from the media we consumed and the ways we were taught patriarchy that is clearly connects to violence.

So in a tragic turn one thing that scares the right, unlearning patriarchy and much of the way we were taught to “be masculine” really will save lives, really can help provide a path to a less violent world. There’s more to it, but that unlearning really is a good starting point.

I’ve had a lot of talks with wonderful people about what comes after the unlearning, and for me the goals is to center my sense of self and behavior in a set of values like honestly and compassion and care and more, rather than “masculinity” we’ll see what happens from there

@JoshuaPHilll Ah yes, the porn star dad that is obviously a drug addict and never there. Commies grasping at straws.

@JoshuaPHilll He didn’t even raise his son. How about looking into the hate you spew before spewing it?

@JoshuaPHilll What's revealed is that without a strong father figure, boys grow up into weak men.

@JoshuaPHilll Yeah, but the shooter is NON-BINARY. I have ZERO idea what that means, but it somehow will invalidate any criticism, and it is now the LEFTIST'S fault!
