December 6, 1989, 14 women at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Canada, were murdered. A man who claimed he was "fighting feminism" lined up women and shot them. If you think #misogyny is a thing of the past, you aren’t paying attention to the world today.
Montreal massacre victims were #WomenInSTEM

@nilikm
I'm surprised that I hadn't heard of this...
@nilikm incel in a car did similar more recently. My Facebook bans mostly come from attacking incels trolling feminist groups, because I think it's important male voices do that. For every murderer, there's a thousand "nice guys" saying the things that spur them on
@nilikm I wasn’t aware of this horrific event. Thank you for sharing, and for saying their names.
@nilikm Men who are afraid of their own shadow perhaps.
@nilikm I worry it's as likely to happen now as it was then.
@kristatee it is, that’s my point
