I am seeing a lot of posts on my Facebook feed claiming gun control advocates are being “emotional” in the wake of Sandy Hook, and then listing a bunch of dubious pro-gun “facts” as a rebuttal. Is there any doubt these damaged ghouls are equating “emotional” with “feminine”… as in: everyone who is bothered by children being shot in cold blood by an unnecessary automatic weapon is being a girly girl, and all the girly emotional women in schools can’t defend their students without manly NRA-trained (white) men playing the role of protector. To me, this debate really highlights our society’s warped view of masculinity - that men=rational and women=irrational. Considering the percentage of men who commit violent crimes, mass shootings, sexual assaults and mosque arsons, and the overwhelming number of women who are damaged in their wake, it seems to me we live in Opposite Land. Yeah, right wing John Wayne wannabes know best - what could possibly go wrong?
