Do you believe in Toxic Masculinity, and that it is the mechanism of these young men attacking? Could you perhaps say something about the dynamics of archaic masculinity in the west, and why perhaps it is not holding or promising anything fruitful. Do you believe in Eros, as a personality component, and do you think modern masculinity has castrated that part of themselves?
 
Good questions. I think that humans are only toxic when they have components of themselves that they deny, or that they feel forced to deny. Masculinity, in itself, is the name of an alienated component of all human beings. Just as the name, femininity, necessarily describes something pathological, as it is not part of the integrated and undifferentiated whole.
