According to a study analyzing 29 school shootings between 1995-2005 in the U.S., boys who engage in school shootings are more likely to experience emasculating bullying, such as being called gendered or homophobic epithets. Some researchers argue that “toxic masculinity” and the pressure of conforming to male stereotypes may also play be a predictor of violent behavior that leads to engaging in violence. Kathryn Farr, the author of the study, believes ongoing discussions about gender and gender role pressure could help prevent school shootings.
