On the plus side guns may stop being the cause celebre of mass shootings.

On the down side we'll have to put-up with this idiotic shit:

'The True Alpha Male':... Elliot Rodger, and Aggrieved White Male Entitlement Syndrome
 
'The True Alpha Male': The Santa Barbara Mass Shooting, Elliot Rodger, and Aggrieved White Male Entitlement Syndrome

In a complementary manner, William Hamby offers up a sharp synthesis of how rage and white male privilege come together to create monsters:

Rachel Kalish and Michael Kimmel (2010) proposed a mechanism that might well explain why white males are routinely going crazy and killing people. It's called "aggrieved entitlement." According to the authors, it is "a gendered emotion, a fusion of that humiliating loss of manhood and the moral obligation and entitlement to get it back. And its gender is masculine." This feeling was clearly articulated by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the perpetrators of the Columbine Massacre. Harris said, "People constantly make fun of my face, my hair, my shirts..." A group of girls asked him, "Why are you doing this?" He replied, "We've always wanted to do this. This is payback... This is for all the sh*t you put us through. This is what you deserve."

At the risk of getting too existentialist, I'd like to propose a very simple and elegant explanation for not only school shootings but a host of other barbaric acts in recent years: White men are having a crisis of both aggrievement and entitlement. One need only look at the 2012 election season to see less brutal but equally mind-numbing examples of white men going mad because they are losing their power. The "Republican Meltdown" is a perfect example of men who previously had all the control escalating to madness when that control was lost...

The thing is, losing power hurts. That's the "aggrieve" part of aggrieved entitlement. It's one thing for a bunch of white men to feel hurt because they are no longer the kings of their own private castles, rulers of all they survey. It's another thing for them to feel like they're entitled to power, and more importantly, entitled to punish others for taking it away. And that -- aggrievement plus the feeling of entitlement -- is what may well drive people like Adam Lanza to these horrific crimes.

Any brave soul who dares to talk about white masculinity, white privilege, and gun violence will be hounded by the Right-wing's dogs--a media machine that cares nothing for the truth. Many otherwise decent, smart, and fair-minded white folks may also recoil at the thought that Whiteness and White Masculinity can be dysfunctional and violence. When an entire social structure has been erected to reinforce the lie that white folks are "normal", and those "Others" are "deviant" or "defective", it can be very difficult to break out of that haze of denial. Such an act requires a commitment to truth-telling and personal, critical, self-reflection which Whiteness, by definition, denies to most of its owners.

1. Elliot Rodgers was pissed

because he couldn't get laid. Would you care to compare the number of black male on white female rapes to the number of white male on black female rapes? Not only is the article racist, it's idiotic.

15. "Alpha male"? Isn't the alpha male connotation more of the protector of the pack? This guy ....
 
... was the weakest of the weak.

Perhaps the usage is evolving.

When a premise is so ****ed-up Scuba is the voice of reason the premise is REALLY ****ed-up.

There have been a lot of the "Knock Out Game" attacks directed towards white women. 762 has a point about the black on white attacks, but the left would prefer to ignore those and focus on the mythical war on women.

Well... I read sheshe2 screed... or cut and paste... or whatever. 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Thanks dummie for wasting my time.

Now let me tell you something dummie... and all the dumbasses at the dump. I do not feel entitled. Not in the least. I worked hard to get where I am in life currently and if some black fool, or any white, hispanic, green alien fool for that matter,  feels entitled to it and comes to take it away, well said black/white/hispanic/green alien fool will be carried away to the autopsy table... along with any other fools they might bring with them.

Understand now dummie? People that worked long and hard for their shit will take care of it and defend it. That is the difference between us and you.

One question libs. How come most of these mass murderers are registered democrats or come from liberal families? Maybe it Liberal Entitlement...

Usually when the DUmmies discuss "alpha males" it involves algore.

So he's white.

Of course. [Dummy Math] (Non-white x Acts white) / so he's white  = white privilege [/Dummy Math]

Um, haven't all the mass killers been democrat voting/leaning people?

[Rebel]

Every one of the mass murderers was a Democrat

Solution: Ban Democrats.

Yeah, but it's more of a "soft" connection (not *registered* democrats) I finally saw the discussionist last night & someone made this point, but they omitted the one solid connection: Jared Loughner (sp last name). Many of these lefties would easily make the "Most Likely to Shoot Up (fill in the blanks) From Frustration & Rage" list.
