Today is the grim anniversary of the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre, where Marc Lépine used a gun and a hunting knife to kill 15 women before ultimately turning the gun on himself. According to his suicide later and overheard statements during the massacre, he was "fighting against feminism." This offers a lesson for those who claim that feminism is no longer needed, even though similar massacres targeting women have continued to this day, such as the Toronto van attack and Elliot Rodger's Isla Vista killings.
