On December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine brought a gun to the École Polytechnique in Montreal. He went to a mechanical engineering class, separated the men from the women, and opened fire on the women. He said he was "fighting feminism."
Lepine shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He roamed for a further 20 minutes, targeting women. He killed eight more women before killing himself.
Today, we remember their names.

The final word on this goes to Andrea Dworkin, for perfectly expressing what feminists have to do.

WoLF is proud to join other advocacy organizations to sign this letter demanding charges against Chrystul Kizer be dropped. We stand in solidarity with trafficked women and girls.
womensliberationfront.org/news/wolf-sign…
Chrystul was only seventeen when she was trafficked by Randall P. Volar. Volar had already been under investigation for sex crimes against underage girls, and he raped Chrystul repeatedly.
Chrystul says she was resisting another rape attempt when she shot and killed Volar.

We believe Chrystul needs rehabilitation and support, not a lengthy prison term.

This year, California implemented sex self-identification for prison housing. Any man can seek transfer to women’s facilities if he says he is “transgender.” He does not have to identify as a woman(!) as long as he does not identify as a man. #KeepPrisonsSingleSex
The LA Times reported yesterday that 255 transfer requests to women’s facilities have been made in the first three months of this policy. Most are yet to be processed, but no transfer requests have yet been denied. latimes.com/california/sto…
California reported in 2009 that 20% of inmates who ID as trans are sex offenders. This means at least 50 current transfer requests to women’s facilities are likely rapists. #KeepPrisonsSingleSex #NotOurCrimes cpb-us-e2.wpmucdn.com/sites.uci.edu/…

New poll results reveal overwhelming bipartisan rejection of "gender identity" policies in West Virginia, such as those that would go into effect with the passage of the #EqualityAct. @Sen_JoeManchin @SenCapito

womensliberationfront.org/news/wv-pollin…
The results found wide, cross-partisan, agreement that men should not be allowed in women’s intimate spaces such as changing rooms or homeless shelters, even if they identify as women.
86 percent of WV voters agreed that male domestic abusers and sex offenders should not be allowed to serve their sentence in a women’s prison regardless of their claimed “gender identity,” including 78 percent of registered democrats.

It’s important to take action even if your representative doesn’t listen this time. Or next time. It takes time to change minds.

Taking action has other benefits, too. ...
For each of us, civic participation is a habit that it takes time to build.

This is why voting participation is usually lower when people are younger, but tends to become more reliable with age. It’s not the age, per se, but that older people have made voting a habit.
Contacting your legislators is another habit it takes time to build.

At first, you may be a little nervous. After you’ve done it a few times, it seems normal. After you’ve written them a few emails, making a call doesn’t sound too hard.

Here’s a quick thread on what you need to know about WoLF’s petition for rulemaking to @usedgov and @teachcardona. #SaveTitleIX #SaveWomensSports 👇
1. A “petition for rulemaking” is a request to an agency that they issue, amend, or repeal a specific regulation. Since Biden’s EO directed them to adjust their regulations for "gender identity," we want to force them to consider our petition first.

2. If the petition is rejected, the decision may be subject to judicial review and the agency must provide “an appropriately reasoned statement of the grounds for denial.”

In a few years the bar moved from saying that children weren’t undergoing irreversible procedures, to arguing in The New Yorker that children should get to sterilize themselves for life without regard to the “arbitrary historical boundaries of childhood.”

newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
Among those of us with left-of-center political ideals, it’s only radical feminists who will now stand up and say that it’s wrong to sterilize children because they’re different, or unhappy. It’s only conservatives who will platform us to say it.

Where are the other organizations that claim to represent lesbian and bisexual women, saying that these girls don’t need mastectomies? Where are the gay men’s groups standing up for the wholeness of these boys? Why are they abandoning their responsibilities?
