Yet One More Truly Outrageous Day

In y1989, upon this day ... ... yet one more instantiation of Dr Germaine Greer's very first sentence upon page 279 of the chapter entitled 'Hate and Disgust' of her The Female Eunuch, "Women have very little idea how much men hate them."

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Polytechnique_massacre 's first paragraph:
"The École Polytechnique massacre, also known as the Montreal massacre, occurred on December 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot 28 people, killing 14 women, before committing suicide. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was "fighting feminism" and calling the women "a bunch of feminists," he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under 20 minutes before turning the gun on himself. His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of 19 Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill."

And, still after 08 November y2016, NOT at all ... ... unusual.  

This ?  The thinking like this ?  
The thinking like this man's, Lépine's, is still OUTRAGEOUSLY* ... ... The Norm.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*An outrage is .not. a tragedy. 
If something horrid occurs, then a tragedy is that which could .not. have been prevented.

The 06 December y1989 Montreal Massacre - horridness ?  
~5:10 – ~5:30 pm local Eastern, a simple, middle - of - the - week, ordinary Wednesday;  kind of later on into the afternoon ?

This one is an outrage.
