Let’s give the Montreal Femicide Massacre some modern context.

Why did Marc Lepine target the 14 women he brutally murdered that day?

Was it because they were women?

Was it because they were in STEM fields?

Was it because they were feminists?

We actually know the answer to this, because Lepine stated his reasons in multiple notes and manifestos.

In Marc Lepine’s own words, he killed the women because he considered them RADICAL FEMINISTS.

“The lack of time (because I started too late) has allowed these radical feminists to survive.”

It is imperative that we see the current, 2014 backlash against radical feminism as part of the ongoing backlash against radical feminism that has been happening since its inception.

We MUST remember history.

And history tells us that angry males who blame radical feminists for their problems, and advocate killing us, are NOT joking. They’re not just talking.

They are serious. They are planning our deaths. They truly believe that radical feminists deserve to die.

When liberal feminists, MRAs, trans activists, and genderists threaten radical feminists with death and say that we deserve to be raped and killed, they are drawing on their shared history of misogyny, a history that can be traced back directly to a man who shot and killed 14 women, who he considered radical feminists, 25 years ago.
