I was surprised to see people assign root causes to gender or cultural factors (i.e., being male or the child of affluent parents) as part of a "questionable cause" falacy. These are probably people who in other discussions would have cringed if someone attributed some misdeed to being a member of a racial minority, or other cultural factor, yet they seem content to be promoting some quasi-feminist agenda for a killer whose first three victims were Asian males. What I pointed out was that when I was young "experts" attributed schizophrenia to the mother's parenting style. The classic "schizophrenigenic mother" hypothesis was debunked and now they have a blood test for it (no kidding - supposedly 85% accurate but you have to feel for the 15% who don't have the disease).
