Just a reminder of why allowing incels access to guns is a shitty way to run a society: December 6, 1989, an armed man killed 14 women, and injured 13 other individuals at Polytechnique Montréal. Still incomprehensible to this day, this anti-woman attack stunned the entire country, and sent shockwaves throughout the entire world. Polytechnique’s desire to honour the victims of this massacre remains strong. By commemorating this painful event, we also highlight the courage, solidarity, and dedication to equity that the Polytechnique community continues to express. The triumphs and successes of our community are the most sincere way to honour the 14 women whose lives and dreams were dramatically and unjustly cut short. 14 WOMEN Polytechnique remembers the 14 young women whose lives tragically ended on December 6, 1989.
