On December 6 1989, 14 women were killed at the École Polytechnique de Montréal research institute - Clover - Dec 6 2024
Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. On this day, 35 years ago (December 6, 1989), 14 women were killed at the École Polytechnique de Montréal research institute in a femicide massacre.
Rest in peace to the women who unjustly had their lives taken from them in the name of woman hating.

It blows my mind that everyone will rush to try and explain that radical feminism isn't a genocidal supremacist movement and meanwhile men can commit literal femicidal terrorist attacks like this (that don't even get called terrorism or ascribed to male supremacism even when men spell that out) and still demand that women prove that feminism is "safe" for the poor babies.

Thank you for sharing. :( I first learned about this when I was in college many years ago, in a male-dominated field. I was often the only woman in many of my classes, and found myself ruminating sometimes on what might happen to me if a maniac like this burst into the classroom with a gun.
