How should US women react as Las Vegas is a feminist issue.
So many women victims. There is no way a woman would have done that! Imho was a gender specific crime like so much violent crime is. So Las Vegas is a feminist issue.

Not taking the bait, thank you.

Well with respect you sort of have. Although my point here is not to bait but to invite debate. Your silence suggests consent. Perhaps you can answer my question above to OllyOxenFree:
Do you in all seriousness imagine that if mass shooting were carried out repeatedly and only by women that gender would not be taken to be an issue?
Best wishes

@sogdianrock Of course it would, the same way woman race car driver is a big deal. When a woman - or man - does something unexpected or against the norm, it's news. That doesn't necessarily make it a feminist issue.
If women your lobbying for more women shooters or equal footing in the arean of mass murder, then it might be feminism at work.

Sorry I am not seeking to hound you on this but I do not mean if one woman carried out a mass shooting but what if all mass shooters were women? The obverse is true. This is extreme abhorrent male behaviour but not is male.
No I seek an end to mass shootings by understanding what is going on. As NRA says guns don't kill people do but that is not true is it - men do.
I have killed with a gun btw! I am a man also.

ps I shot a song bird with an air gun aged 13 and my regret has been lifelong. It was a long shot which I never thought would result in death. I thought it would make it fly off.

@sogdianrock You're not hounding me. I think it's a matter of semantics. Feminism, at its core, is about standing for equal rights between men and women. This shooting, obviously, has nothing to do with rights or equality.
It's definitely a gender issue. Men commit more aggressive violent acts like this than women. They are almost exclusively serial killers, too. I think it has more to do with socialization and hard wiring than the issue of feminism. Which is to say I think we're on the same page, only using different language.
P.S. Sorry about the bird. I think we all have some incident, to some degree or another, from our youth we'd do differently if we only had the chance. Learning from our actions is the best we can do sometimes.

I do not think it a matter of semantics. I think Feminism is a complete ideology which starts off from the point of inequality but then explores the reasons for that inequality and how to escape it. Gender differences such as the male propensity for violence - tested to by the minuscule number of women in prisons worldwide for violent crime - are central areas of concern to feminists.
Sure gender hardwiring. I like to think I redirected my own socialisation after shooting the bird.
I am glad that we are on the same page.
