This weblog has covered Republican-driven domestic violence even before incel Jared Loughner shot Gabby Giffords at a Safeway in Tucson in part because he believed women shouldn't hold power. According to his acquaintances he quit using teevee but was already radicalized by commercial media and by odious anti-feminist entertainer, Rush Limbaugh. 

Donald Trump's pathologically narcissistic obsession with the boob tube has certainly warped his humanity and the phantasmagorical channels he surfs are virulent and toxic, too. 

Most importantly, we found long-term risks associated with self-reported antisocial behavior in boys. The viewing of violent content in early childhood predicted, in 15-year-old adolescents, appearances in court for offenses, placements in youth centers, and interactions with law enforcement. Self-reported violent tendencies at age 15 years do not augur well for subsequent development, because such an inclination tends to persist and influence difficulties in personal, family, and school spheres. Aggressive adolescent males specifically exhibit more long-term depressive symptoms and stress, lower self-esteem, reduced empathy, and lower life satisfaction in adulthood. They also have greater chances of less effective communication skills and lower cohesion with their family, even years after adolescence.

Instead of looking inward and examining what might be repelling a possible partner, it’s women’s fault for never giving the other 80% of men a chance.
