With nearly 97% of incidents within the past 40 years committed by men, mass public shootings are a gendered social problem. Yet, empirical research on this phenomenon largely neglects gender hierarchy and cultural factors as predictors, in favor of individual- and event-level characteristics. Despite calls from scholars to place masculinity and threats to patriarchal hegemony at the center of analyses, no empirical studies to our knowledge have examined the role of gender inequality in mass public shootings. The findings indicate that gender inequality, structural and ideological, are important predictors of mass public shootings and that future research should continue to investigate such violence from a gendered lens.

性别大屠杀：研究文化和结构性别不平等对大规模公共枪击事件的影响。

在过去的40年中，男性发生了近97％的事件，大规模的枪击事件是一个社会性别问题。然而，对这一现象的实证研究在很大程度上忽略了性别等级和文化因素作为预测因素，而倾向于个人和事件层面的特征。尽管学者呼吁将男性气质和对父权制霸权的威胁置于分析的中心，但据我们所知，没有实证研究检验性别不平等在大规模枪击事件中的作用。研究结果表明，性别不平等，结构和意识形态是大众枪击事件的重要预测因素，未来的研究应继续从性别角度调查此类暴力行为。
