This is one of the reasons why I roll my eyes when red pilled men start saying that women are just soooooo emotional and men are soooo stoic. Like yeah, that is why men commit most violent crimes, because they are so stoic. Women are much more able to handle their emotions. It's men that are emotional and have the outbursts.

I don't think we are able to better handle our emotions than men innately, it's just that society views "being emotional" as a female trait which is considered negative/weak due to it being "female".

But in actuality both men and women have equal amounts of emotion. So since society sees women as emotional and men as stoic, the men then have toxic emotional outbursts because they're taught to suppress their emotions their whole lives.

What we should be doing - and I think we are, over time - is not applying gender to states that both genders share.

Mass shootings are a by-product of a few things, but one of them is this view that men ~should be stoic, because emotion is female and therefore weakness, and it comes out in the wrong ways.

But I don't believe that it's only that. I think it's also a dark kind of showing off as they imagine themselves in the news and what that would look like after suicide. And also, a grip for power they have lost in life (eg angry with their inescapable poverty, trying and failing many times at life, victim of domestic violence, etc).
