Zohrab on Media Censorship About Marc Lepine

Peter Zohrab from the New Zealand Equality Party sent in an article about the now-infamous Marc Lepine, a young man who went on a shooting rampage to kill feminists at a Canadian University in 1989. Zohrab believes that the media is censoring information about Marc's motives, and points to an allegedly leaked suicide letter from Lepine that has been suppressed. While no one can condone the mass murders by Lepine, Zohrab is willing to ask questions about his motives that few others have done. Read More below for his article.

Media Censors Extremist Protest Against Media Censorship

The Men's Movement has reacted defensively to the actions of mass-murderer Marc Lepine - concentrating on pointing out that most men are not like him. That is a fair point, but the act of stating it is just a reaction to the lying Feminist propaganda which called him a misogynist - a woman-hater.

I bet you don't know he wasn't a misogynist - because you have been conned by the media (as usual). In fact, he was a Men's Rights activist (albeit an extremist one), and one of the things he was protesting about was media censorship - and the way the media censored the facts surrounding his action retrospectively justifies some sort of protest action by him, at least !

If you go to http://www.howdyneighbor.com/one-in-ten/FEMINISTmassacre.html#letter you will see the suicide note allegedly left by Marc Lepine. I don't know, of course, if it is genuine or whether it has been altered in any way, but it rings true to me.

In the note, from which it is clear that he is against Feminists -- not against women -- he clearly states that he is protesting against various issues which are aspects of Feminist sexism:

1. They want to retain the advantages of being women while trying to grab those of the men. That is a very serious and valid issue, especially as Feminism is taught as God's Truth in education systems and propounded as God's Truth by the United Nations, governments, and the mass media. Has the media covering Marc Lepine dealt with those issues ? Of course not -- the media are not the solution, but the problem.

2. Sexism in the Olympic Games (he could have mentioned professional and amateur sports in general), where men and women compete in separate competitions for the simple reason that it suits women for that to happen. If something suits women, it happens. If something suits men, it's banned on the grounds of "Gender Equity".

3. Feminists always try to misrepresent men every time they can. Since Feminists virtually control information in western societies, that is a serious issue. His statement may be a slight exaggeration, but has the media dealt with it ? Of course not -- they have been too busy misrepresenting Marc Lepine !

4. Military sexism. Feminists have the vote, are a majority of the electorate, vote in governments that declare war, only the men are conscripted, and after the war the Feminists reinvent history by insisting that women made an equal contribution to the war effort. Women may serve in the military as volunteers (i.e. if they happen to want to), but no modern country has ever drafted them to serve in the front-line (i.e. over-riding their wishes) on the same basis as men.

The write-ups on Marc Lepine concentrate on character-assassination. They take things out of context, in the same way that fathers are slandered in the divorce/family court, in order to deprive them of custody or access. I could go through the slanders one-by-one, but one example will have to do, for now:

The Montreal Gazette (January 16, 1990) reports that Marc Lepine's former roommate, Erik Cossette, claimed that Lepine made "sexist remarks" about women. Eventually, the article does give some evidence for this claim: It states that Cossette claims that Mark Lepine thought that women didn't have the strength to be police officers.

Is that a "sexist remark" ? If you say that women don't have the strength to compete in the men's section of a weightlifting competition, is that also a sexist remark ? It is obviously a true remark, but is it a "sexist" remark ? How would you know ? I guess you'd have to go and ask a Feminist, because it seems to me that, in practice, a "sexist" remark is one that a Feminist doesn't like ! I have been working to change that - see my book, "Sex, Lies & Feminism".

In my opinion, what is sexist here is the fact that we have a separate men's and women's sections in weightlifting competitions, and that men can't get into police forces if they only meet the physical standards that allow women to become police officers ! I wrote and asked the Montreal Police if they operated this sexist recruitment policy, but they evaded my question.

So Marc Lepine was not only not sexist, as the media stated - he was actually fighting sexism !
