Before everyone starts suggesting that maybe Kyle Clifford was ‘suffering from mental health issues’ which ‘caused him’ to tie up and shoot three women, let me shoot some facts here: 1. There is not a single mental disorder listed or described in the DSM which states that it causes murder 2. Not a single mental health charity would put their name to a public statement which stated that MH was associated with committing murder - in fact they would probably do the opposite 3. Men kill women because they want to 4. Men kill women because they get something out of it 5. Men kill women because of their misogyny and male entitlement 6. Men kill women because they enjoy it 7. Men kill women because we do absolutely nothing about the toxic, abusive, misogynistic, pro-violence and pro-abuse society we raise them in 8. Men kill women because there are virtually zero consequences and less than 2% conviction rate for domestic and sexual violence crimes People only claim men who murder are mentally ill for TWO reasons: 1. To defend the suspect legally, in order to claim insanity, so charges or sentences can be lessened 2. To psychologically distance ourselves from their actions, so no one has to accept that this is a social and systemic problem of violence and abuse - and we can all go on pretending that it was another ‘one-off’ caused by ‘mental illness’ End.
