CA Gov says gender 'missing in the national conversation' about shootings

[BigmanPigman]

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Monday called for gender to be part of the conversation about mass shootings given that shooters are most often men."

"These shootings overwhelmingly - almost exclusively - are males, boys, men. I do think that is missing in the national conversation," Newsom said at an emergency meeting on the state's response to mass shootings, according to Politico."

"If there was anything more obvious, I don't know what is," he added at the meeting with school, health and safety officials. "I think that goes deep to the issue of how we raise our boys to be men, goes deeply to values that we tend to hold dear - power, dominance, aggression over empathy, care and collaboration."

"Newsom called for a more in-depth discussion on gender and violence."
