Day 6 - December 6 (White Ribbon Day - Violence Against Women)

Published: Dec. 9, 2019, 1:30 a.m.

December 6, 1989
Montreal Quebec, Canada
Montreal's École Polytechnique
14 women were killed at Montreal's École Polytechnique by a gunman by the name of Marc Lepine, professing to hate feminists and the place women took in society.
The gunman targeted women at Polytechnique because it was an engineering school, and he didn't like that women were pursuing powerful jobs that previously had been almost exclusively held by men.
"They want to keep the advantages of women [e.g. cheaper insurance, extended maternity leave preceded by a preventative leave, etc.] while seizing for themselves those of men," the killer's suicide note read.
