Today is Canada's National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence Against Women, an annual event begun to commemorate the 14 women shot to death by Marc Lépine at Montreal's École Polytechnique on Dec. 6, 1989, and all other women victims of male violence, as well. Lépine targeted the 14 women solely because of their gender. As long as our world continues to condone video games and films that show women being victimized and brutalized, neither I nor any of my sisters are safe.There will always be other Lépine's. As long as our world continues to condone the misogynism that, among other manifestations of its ugly self, wraps even one single woman in a burqa, simply because she is a female, neither I nor any of any of my sisters is truly safe.
