The New Orleans attacker and Las Vegas bomber weren't working together, as initially feared.

But the two acts have so much in common. Both were lost men who, because of toxic masculinity, got radicalized into believing far-right violence was ennobling.

Another spot on article. You are my go to for this stuff. My father taught me how not to treat women and it was the women in my life who taught me to be a better man than him. Men are disappointing to me for the most part. Always blaming others for their own shortcomings.

Interesting hypothesis.

Thanks for this careful analysis, as thorough as the space allows. I long for the day when what you observe here has become just a part of what we understand about people, gender and society - in *the past*.

The masculine-supremacy stuff devoured by angry men everywhere insists that STRONG MEN KILL. We see again & again men overwhelmed by *feelings they believe they shouldn't have to have*, pouring a sense of failure into destroying other people to demonstrate, however futile, their 'man-power.'

Another good r3ason to purge military and cops of these types. Membership in hate groups, domestic violence, etc should be disqualifying for service or reason for dismissal. Thanks for your great reporting!

Also, I'm done with people who argue based on the headline, without reading. Do it, and you're blocked. Refusing to read anything longer than 120 characters is why social media is brain-rotting people.

99% of the time, I only share something after I've read the whole thing. How am I supposed to endorse a point of view unless I know its conclusion?? Lol

Incisive piece (yes I read).

Great article! It was a disturbing, but critical to our understanding of the issue. Most articles stay narrowly focused and miss this frightening trend.
