Dearest Readers:
C'mon now. One, two, or three women (including a transman, aka a woman) do not in any way override the 98-99% of mass shooters who are biologically male.
Further: Incidents of mothers killing (their own) children, while reprehensible, are not the same as mass shootings of strangers.
Again: Compared to male serial killers, who kill mainly women, one by one, female serial killers are both rare and very different from male serial killers. True, there is more than one "first" female serial killer (Aileen Wuornos). Hell yes. I wrote a book about this titled: Requiem for a Female Serial Killer.
Yes, there are wives who marry and then kill a series of husbands for their insurance money ("black widows"). These are intimate family murders and are not the same as mass shootings of strangers or serial killings, which are mainly male-on-female and sometimes male-on-male killings. However, there are both female and male nurses who have killed their elderly patients as well as infants who are strangers to them.
Moving right along: Are you serious about female domestic violence rivaling or even surpassing physical male domestic violence? If so, you are sadly misinformed or are, perhaps, bitter over a more personal matter. Women may psychologically or verbally torment their spouses but that, too, is not the same as breaking bones or killing.
Are women angels? Absolutely not. I am the author of Woman's Inhumanity to Woman, and I know this very well. But women are far more aggressive towards other women than to men. Yes, women may fail both their male and female children--but again, that is not the same as a mass shooting of strangers. That, too, is intimate family violence.
Apples are not Oranges.
Above all--as we contemplate mass shootings: first follow the testosterone. Men and women are not the same hormonally, anatomically, genetically, biologically, etc. Then, look into the psychiatric medications that have previously been administered to mass shooters. And then, look into the psychiatric treatment that clearly could not, and did not, succeed.
And then, review the drugs that have been administered to transitioning men and women.
And then--and only then, look at the results of our internet-driven culture, the addiction to it, the socialization of both boys and girls--and then, also please note the inability and refusal of people to "get involved," which, admittedly, is not easy to do.

So far I don't see that anything you are writing is even remotely controversial.
You are absolutely right. There is a vast difference between men and women in that regard, and that, as you said, doesn’t mean that all men are prone to become mass shooters. It means that there’s a problem with men, men in America, men in general, how we educate men, how we treat men, I’m not sure. One of those, for sure. There is a problem. The problem is more than just being violent or prone to rage. The problem lies in the belief that one could (and even should) commit such a drastic, horrific act. This is something that women are naturally taught to avoid. We silence—ourselves and others. We never annihilate. It’s not in our nature, in our education, or in our environment as women. This is something important to look into. You’re right.
