National Post Letter: Feminism Caused the Montreal Massacre
Someone has to be the first to call Rob Bredin an idiot, and I guess it’ll be me:
Let’s get real… The feminization of young men… is why no male student was man enough to stop this murderous rampage…
No male in the engineering class did, as in more modern times, this demanding and gender-biased motif has fallen into desuetude, usurped by a touchy-feely, unmanly, unchivalrous politically correct mush. That is the real shame of this massacre.
There you have it, folks. The real shame of the Montreal massacre — the real tragedy we should be talking about, not this petty wailing about a few dead women — is that male engineers just aren’t the good manly men they used to be.
I don’t know what hole you’ve been hiding in since the 19th century, sir, but please do the rest of us a favour and crawl back into it.

That kinda crap appears every single year. Babs Kay also does a variant on it every year. Rob probably thinks he’s clever but Babs keeps recycling and recycling.

From the LinkedIn profile, he’s a software developer at RIM.
What are they putting in the water these days at RIM that public displays of good judgement seem like the exception rather than the rule?

Fern Hill — Yes, it’s not exactly an argument I haven’t seen before. It came from a new mouth, though, so it seemed worth a slap from my very unmanly hand.
Michel — Interesting. The Post says he’s from Orangeville, so it might be a different Bredin that you’re looking at.

Dear Sixth Estate,
Not very long ago, at a conference I was working at on suicide prevention, I met a fellow who was a friend of the young man who killed himself because he had been unable to stop the killer at École polytechnique.

I can only imagine what psychological trauma the survivors must have gone through, lagatta.
But none of this has anything to do with supposed feminization of young men, which is Bredin and his ilk want to turn it into.
