That makes our new equation:

Testosterone + Toxic Masculinity + Obsessive Butt-Hurt + Inability to Deal with it in a Socially Acceptable Way = Socially Unacceptable Response.

It's just a question of degree. Do you punch out someone at your kid's Pop Warner game or shoot dozens of people from a hotel window in Las Vegas?

Not a single psychology class to get here. Don't need it.
