More than a few observers were surprised, as was I, by the news that the “active shooter” on the YouTube campus today was not another young man angry at the world, but a woman apparently seeking revenge against her boyfriend, shooting but not killing him and two others before taking her own life.
Naturally, a bunch of Twitter dudes decided to respond to the tragedy with jokes about women being as bad at shooting as misogynistic idiots insist they are at driving.
Can't drive. Can't shoot. Image may be NSFW.

Good thing the YouTube shooter was a lady, or someone might have gotten killed.

Going to be awkward if the female shooter missed with every shot. #youtube

Looks like there's less female shooters for a reason:

Others made inane “ironic” jokes about glass ceilings being broken, welcoming the female shooter, whose name has not yet been released, to the boys club.
I'm hearing rumors the Youtube shooter is a girl. If so, congratulations, ladies. You've proven once again you can do anything a man can do. #girlpower

You cant shoot guns if you're busy making sandwiches. FACT.

Then there were these dudes:
This female shooter has clearly perverted the peaceful teachings of the Holy Book of Womon and isn't a real womon. And before all you womonophobes jump in, the passage about 'kill all men wherever you find them' is taken out of context and is actually a peaceful message.
