Over 95% of mass shootings are carried out by men.

One thing is VERY clear; the modern toxic masculinity movement is radicalizing men into terrorists.

@aral @fungible_thadius And if the sample size of that article displeases anyone, there's this study: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/us/woman-shooter-nashville.html 96%

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/ 97%

https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/public-mass-shootings-database-amasses-details-half-century-us-mass-shootings 97.7%

Pick your source, the answer is the same. It's time to prevent cis men from reading stories to children.

How Rare Is It for a Woman to Commit a Mass Shooting?

In a database of 172 public shootings involving at least four fatalities over the last five and a half decades, all but 4 of the perpetrators were male.

Can someone clarify this for me?
Seeing one stat elsewhere that 95% of mass shooters are male.
And there have been 130 mass shootings (four or more victims) in the U.S. *already this year*.
So what’s with the 135 male shooters over decades referred to here?

@reay @aral @fungible_thadius Yeah, saw that sus number so well and suspect it's down to definition of "mass"? Aside, super gross that that would even be a point of debate.

Anyway, went looking for more states and posted followup already: https://fosstodon.org/@saramg/110101260525586178
