I've looked and can't see that this has already been posted. This is a really interesting article discussing feminism, and what drives some men to hate us. I thought it worth sharing and discussing here, especially when we're seeing so much of that hatred less and less hidden over the past couple of years.

Thank you for this.

I’m old enough to have heard of this but I don’t remember it being on the news over here.

Reading it seems no different to some of the angry, entitled young men who decide their hatred for women is an acceptable reason to go out and kill.

So we learn nothing from all those women’s deaths.

I was 9 when this happened and I lived in Canada. I still quite clearly remember the news that evening and my mum talking to me about what had happened that day. I don't know if I even knew before then that you could be hated just for being a woman, but I remember that it felt deeply dark and unsettling.

I always take a moment on Dec 6 to read and reflect on the names of the 14 women.

It is indeed to a good time to reflect on all women who have lost their lives, because they were women.

It's truly awful. The whole thing is awful. From the act to the refusal to acknowledge the motives. Society is so invested in trying to make everyone believe women arent in danger from men.

It is truly shocking. I’m embarrassed to say I was blissfully unaware this had happened. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for posting this.

I was old enough at the time that I should have heard about this on the News. I’m shocked that I didn’t. And horrified that people sought to sweep the killer’s note and motives under the carpet.

This is the day I mourn for all the women and girls who die at the hands of the men who hate us.

Thank you for reminding us where male hatred of women leads..so many women and girls... we have a problem.
