Maybe it's just me, but I've always seen it explained that it's remembered just for being a really bad shooting and as it being a marker of that sexism that really did exist for a long time.

Never heard it conflated with all male-on-female violence or supporting the idea that men are violent in generally.

I say this as a lifetime resident of Toronto.

Fuck Lepine, and fuck the whole White Ribbon thing.

As this comment is about Australia, a country in which freedom of speech is virtually nonexistent, you can assume i am much more pissed off than i seem.

In Sydney, hundreds of men march down the street then take an oath to not beat the crap out of women. Football players and boxers support the whole thing, as do politicians at the federal and state level. But then, what can you expect in a country that has a female Prime Minister that got into parliament on affirmative action?
