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.
@JoshuaPHilll Also a porn star & meth addict which just adds to the mess.
@JoshuaPHilll Supposedly, he didn't much raise his child at all. Supposedly, the father wasn't in the suspect's life ever very much at all. That doesn't mean he didn't still influence him, of course, though.
@JoshuaPHilll He says explicitly that he taught his son to use violence as a solution
@JoshuaPHilll Wut? Absenteeism is the "patriarchal link". This is patently false.
@JoshuaPHilll There’s a need to examine how the effect having a porn star as a father educated the shooter. Or are all porn stars good Christian folk now?
@JoshuaPHilll "I don’t know exactly how that man raised his child" He didn't. "but I know that patriarchal violence is connected to mass shootings" Is that why most mass shooters grew up without their father? Also, aren't most mass shooters black? What are you suggesting there?
