And ooh, do not get me started on the behavior that men have been socialized to enact, by five decades of movies and TV shows, where when a white man is feeling disgruntled, hasn't got out of his life what he wanted, or life hasn't gone his way, instead of attempting to fix the issue, the answer is to go out into the world and kill people!

Taxi Driver, Falling Down, Fight Club, Joker, and endless iterations of this idea, in drama and action movies, has been adopted by the more simple minded of them, that when they're unhappy with the world, you kill someone.
