NEWTOWN KILLER had pro-pedophilia and homoerotic fantasy material on his computer.

A file titled “pbear” contains a document that advocates for pedophiles’ rights and the liberation of children, according to the report. . . .

Another document titled “Lovebound” contains a screenplay about a relationship between a 10-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man. . . .

The computer also contained instant message transcripts from 2010 and 2011 that show Lanza discussing homosexual fantasies.

For all we know, there is no connection between any of this and the shooting. But the same goes for baseless conjecture about a desire on the killer’s part to be a manly man, as feminists are wont to suggest:

Eating meat is associated with male power in its most vile and repugnant forms.

In a logic that sounds positively mystical, real men, we are told, should be physically strong and virile, which means killing and eating strong animals.

This is why cookbooks aimed at men focus on the barbecue. Anything less might turn them into gay homosexual fops. For instance, the Newtown killer used a rifle manufactured by a company called Bushmaster. Upon purchase, Bushmaster offers you a “man card” that is revoked if you’re caught, among other things, “eating tofu”. Why? Because real men eat meat. Sissies do not.

In rejecting meat, feminists – both women and men – are rejecting a potent symbol of patriarchal power.

But the killer was a “moral” vegan. Whoops. Russ Hanoman, a friend of Nancy Lanza, said of him, “He was very nonviolent. He adopted a vegan, organic lifestyle out of a moral compass because he did not want to be the cause of animal suffering.” (This is transcribed from the video at the link.)

I suppose that “patriarchal power” can take many forms, even that of a homosexual-fantasizing, Dance Dance Revolution-playing, anorexic vegan.
