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 is a thing of the past, you aren’t paying attention to the world today. 🧵

Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student

Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student

In their memory, and for all girls and women around the world, we must stand up against and all forms of

is our refusal to be silenced.

@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.
