Victoria Soto, 27-year-old teacher killed while protecting her students.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If there were fewer women and more \u201cmale aggression\u201d in Sandy Hook Elementary School, the massacre there never would have taken place, according to a contribution to a leading conservative magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n

National Review, whose in-house editorial suggested Newtown\u00a0was the price of the Second Amendment<\/span><\/a><\/span>, published a piece on Wednesday from\u00a0anti-feminist<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0Charlotte Allen suggesting the reason the shooter was able to kill so many students was because\u00a0Newtown was a \u201cfeminized setting:\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was not a single adult male on the school premises when the shooting occurred.<\/strong>\u00a0In this school of 450 students, a sizeable number of whom were undoubtedly 11- and 12-year-old boys (it was a K\u20136 school), all the personnel \u2014 the teachers, the principal, the assistant principal, the school psychologist, the \u201creading specialist\u201d \u2014 were female. There didn\u2019t even seem to be a male janitor to heave his bucket at Adam Lanza\u2019s knees. Women and small children are sitting ducks for mass-murderers.<\/strong>\u00a0The principal, Dawn Hochsprung, seemed to have performed bravely. According to reports, she activated the school\u2019s public-address system and also lunged at Lanza, before he shot her to death. Some of the teachers managed to save all or some of their charges by rushing them into closets or bathrooms. But\u00a0in general, a feminized setting is a setting in which helpless passivity is the norm. Male aggression can be a good thing, as in protecting the weak \u2014 but it has been forced out of the culture of elementary schools and the education schools that train their personnel. Think of what Sandy Hook might have been like if a couple of male teachers who had played high-school football, or even some of the huskier 12-year-old boys, had converged on Lanza.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Via\u00a0Jessica Valenti<\/span><\/a><\/span>, who notes that this is extraordinarily \u201cdisrespectful to the female teachers and staff at Sandy Hook. Allen mentions their heroism as an anomalous aside rather than exceptional bravery that saved lives. The bravery of the women in Newtown \u2013 principal Dawn Hochsprung and psychologist Mary Sherlach who rushed the shooter before being killed, teacher Victoria Soto who died protecting her students, Kaitlin Roig and Abbey Clements who hid their students and calmed them \u2013 is remarkable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Allen went on to blame Lanza\u2019s mother, saying \u201cYou simply can\u2019t give a non-working, non-school-enrolled 20-year-old man free range of your home, much less your cache of weapons\u2026Unfortunately, the idea of being an \u2018adult\u2019 and a \u2018man\u2019 once one has reached physical maturity seems to have faded out of our coddling culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
