Read The war on terror is the real women's issue

Within this article, the writer, Mark Steyn, says the following:

quote:
Thus, every December 6, our own unmanned Dominion lowers its flags to half-mast and tries to saddle Canadian manhood in general with the blame for the Montreal massacre -- the 14 women murdered by Marc Lepine, born Gamil Gharbi, the son of an Algerian Muslim wife-beater, though you wouldn't know that from the press coverage. Yet the defining image of contemporary Canadian maleness is not M Lepine/Gharbi but the professors and the men in that classroom, who, ordered to leave by the lone gunman, meekly did so, and abandoned their female classmates to their fate -- an act of abdication that would have been unthinkable in almost any other culture throughout human history.

There is more. Much, much more.

The worst part about this is that it's disguised as a book review.

Hi Babbling_Jenn,

This was already being discussed here, although your thread title makes much more sense!
