Dec. 6 Day of Action and Awareness Against Violence Against Women and Children (satire)

Dec. 6 is also a day when a victim of violence ended not only the life of 14 bright women but also his own life.

This victim's name is reviled yet must be remembered, too.

We know him as Marc Lepine today, but originally he was born to an Algerian immigrant, Rachid Liass Gharbi, possibly of Berber origin, and Canadian Monique Lepine as Gamil Rodrigue Gharbi.

While married to Gharbi, Ms Lepine was subject to violence at his hands, as was Gamil. This was due to financial difficulties following a stock market crash after 1968.

Rachid Gharbi's contempt for women originated in his belief that they were only intended to serve men. This was due to his cultural origins, and may have been influenced by historical Islamic oppression of the region.

Verbally and physically abusive to his wife and children, Rachid once beat his son so hard that marks on Gamil's were visible a week later. He strongly discouraged tenderness between mother and child, considering it spoiling.

At age 7, Gamil's parents separated. During the separation of his parents, the family spent a year (1975) in family psychotherapy due to difficulties expressing and receiving love and affection in a vain attempt to recover from it. A year later in 1976 they divorced. Afterwards they saw little of Rachid Gharbi, who later moved abroad, possibly moving back to Algeria or to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, where he originally had worked successfully as a mutual fund salesman.

I mention Gamil's history because it is the history of a victim of child abuse. It is also the history of sibling rivalry, for he had a younger sister who used to tease him because of teenaged acne.

Yes, Gamil is a victim just as much as each one of the forteen women who died needlessly. However, the revisionism about him by feminists only demonizes him, while glorifying the women as martyrs.

Thus is it not a day of remembrance and action on domestic abuse and family violence that December 6 also be remembered for? After all, Gamil was verbally and physically abused as a child by his father.

December 6 should also be know as a day to take action and promote awareness of domestic and family violence which is directly related to violence against women.

However, let me add that the tragedy of Gamil Rodrigue Gharbi's death is not that it ended with such a high body count, but that his sister committed suicide after descending into drug addiction, most likely due to child abuse she too suffered at the hands of her father, Rachid. Likewise, at least one of the men who survived December 6, 1989 committed suicide because he could no longer handle the guilt at failing

People who celebrate women's victim-hood on December 6 may be the kind of people who will obey what the gunman says when he pops into their lives unexpectedly.

To that, I ask "Can you bear the cost of more lives lost because you left the room just because a gunman is brandishing a gun?"

Every time I hear of people dying because everyone obeyed the gunman, it confirms that men are more caring and compassionate but unable to put the lives of other people before their own.

It has only been in recent memory that I have also heard of an unarmed woman suffering postpartum psychosis getting gunned down by paranoid policeman because she wanted access to the White House illegally.

A few years ago, a lot of children and women got shot by Adam Lanza because they followed their safety procedures, which made it easier for the gunman to shoot them dead. I am sure that saying "Shooter stop!" is not going to stop a man who had just murdered his mother that very morning.

Today, it will be the twenty-fifth year since Marc Lepine walked into L'ecole Polytechnic in Montréal and said "I hate feminists." In my opinion, those three words were a lie. Despite his hit list of feminists in Montreal and Quebec City, Gamil Gabri failed miserably in killing one feminist. In fact, most of the women he murdered were not feminists.

Even though he shot fourteen women dead, twenty-three people were wounded and survived. Perhaps today's metro-sexual men should reflect on that when December 6 comes again in less than 11 months.

When men becoming more caring and compassionate, all it takes is one man to get them to leave the room if he carries a couple guns.

Nobody will know he had been beaten as a child until after another school shooting occurs. No one will know that the marks on his body were still visible a week later.

All it takes is one man to blame women for his problems, rather than his father or mother for physically abusing him. Then, not only will we have a repeat of the massacre of L'ecole Polytechnic but also Columbine, the Gill shooting in Montréal, the Vantech massacre, the Sandy Hook massacre, and other mass school killings.

Thus it makes sense that the metro-sexual men and their women remember Marc Lepine and sacrifice their lives as they attempt to take down tomorrow's crazed gunman.

It matters not if the gunman is a gang member or a psychotic who broke because of years of child abuse.

What really matters is that we should be prepared for the worst. As for now, children ought to get subsidized martial arts lessons by volunteers, be it street fighting or jeet-kun-do.

Yet martial arts instructors can tell from the first day, which student really should not be in class. It would be the child who willfully tries to injures others who would be pointed out to the principal.

Instead, willful meanness is allowed to fester and grow in the minds of children today. Rather than video games, children need at least four hours of play in addition to the three hours of studying by the time they get to high school.

Martial arts then ought to be an elective in middle school and up, as part of physical education and social studies. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen because not only schools today gun-free zones, the one rule of school is no fighting allowed.

In any event, martial arts is less violent than shooting fourteen women dead.

However, I do not suggest martial arts will prevent violence at school or in the homes. Rather, my reason for suggesting it is because it might help children become more assertive and outgoing.

According to my research on what to do if a gunman is packing a firearm but it isn't visible, the experts advise that you should rush him. This is because it take time to whip a pistol out from its hiding place tucked in the gunman's or under his jacket. If he is trained in the proper care and safety of a firearm, then he would also have the safety on in case of accidental discharge.

With the number of men back in 1989 in the class that Marc Lepine first said his infamous words, they could have easily rushed him. Perhaps Lepine would have gotten four or five shoots, but more women and men would have not been killed or wounded.

If a gunman comes with the aim to kill at a school tomorrow then mob him. Even if it means a couple people wounded and one person near death, then the odds are in favor of the mob, provided that the point man also call off any overkill of the gunman.

In conclusion, rather than Gamil Gabri's "Oh shit!" before he uttered, "Je déteste les féministes!", the cry heard around the world the next time a mass school shooting occurs ought to be "Je déteste batteurs de l'enfant!"

Indeed, every day ought to be a day of awareness and education exposing violence against women and children.

Just to give you a heads up about such violence, I leave you with the following from my recent Google search in the references below, where violence against women is common in the Punjab region of Pakistan (and probably India,too).

New Left and Addiction to Power (satire)

Over 10 years ago, the New Left certainly liked their recreational drug use.

If you become a drug abuser and abused your girlfriend or wife because of heavy abuse, then the New Left would accuse you of being a fake New Left party animal and label you a MAN guilty of domestic abuse, warning everyone in the party to stop sharing their party drugs with them.

This may include violent removal of said man ("eviction") from the former spouse's domicile.

The police will target you, and you could end up on Skid Row, sleeping in a homeless shelter, made homeless due to reverse domestic abuse.

This is is a true story for one member of the New Left. When he got into some bad drugs and abused his spouse, she complained to the New Left junta who feel entitled to saving the world.

So they outed him, and nobody cares what happened to him.

However, it may be true that that the New Left has a problem with addiction, especially addiction to power and control.

Honour Killing is Domestic Abuse!

"An unapologetic, incessant message to women and girls living in abusive situations that they don’t have to, and should not, put up with it, backed up with well-funded resources like safe houses and punitive criminal sanctions for offenders. Where specific communities face specific problems, they should be targeted: billboards, multilingual television and radio ads, whatever it takes."

Why the agencies behind the anti domestic abuse strategy are mum regarding honor killings only shows us that the message needs to be in Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, Turkish, Kurdish, Russian and African languages, too.

Honor killing is domestic abuse!
!جرائم الشرف والعنف المنزلي

The Family that Sticks Together is Matriarchal

Overall, when the husband lets the wife rule the roost, that marriage lasts longer than where the family is actually an autocratic patriarchy where the father rules every aspect of his family's lives without flexibility.

Yet this depends on the State: if it is democratic, then it does not care who rules the family as long as it does not violate first social rules and norms specific to it and second UN conventions and the laws enacted to comply with international law.

Locally, within a democratic nation, if a family is ruled by rigid adherence to a patriarchal groupthink and variance to the State's laws are noticed through runs with the police and social workers, then the State reserves the right to remove children from potential or on-going abuse. Separation and divorce may then be used as remedies to an untenable situation.

The father may even be labelled as a wife-beater or as an aggressor in a domestic abuse legal case. Or worse, the State may use divorce as a tool to punish the autocratic father, including child support and alimony judgments.

In contrast, when the wife rules the roost, while she is not less likely to become autocratic, however, the State is less likely to label her an instigator of domestic abuse and few people will consider her to be a husband-beater; the police will even ridicule the husband for exposing it.

Despite this, family cohesiveness is stronger in one which is run in a matriarchal manner due to the stronger bonds maintained between family members.

This may be because in an autocracy, threat of force is the main tool used to maintain social cohesiveness, which actually may result in a weaker bond between family members. In a matriarchal family, there are less threats of force made to maintain cohesiveness; rather, a benign form of subversive psychology is enough to strengthen social cohesiveness within that family.

Thus, the family that sticks together longest is matriarchal at its roots. While this is an idealistic hypothesis, research of families indicates that it may be the rule more often than Western society cares to admit.

Honor Killings are Domestic Abuse

Domestic violence includes honor killing.

That the State agrees honor killing is a religious matter and that somehow it is racist and violation of freedom to practice religion is in itself against sharia.

Sharia does not really condone honor killing. Indeed, the imam would say it is wrong, but the unsaid is "what can a religious leader do in the face of neoconservative Muslims?"

After that, you won't hear of one imam saying anything in public least he be subject to "public opinion" including threats against his life.

Yet if a Christian minister denounces domestic abuse, you NEVER hear of death threats against him, because despite State and Church in the west being separate, because West is based on Judeo-Christian ideology, no one would think of considering a priest or even a preacher of being unbeliever for criticizing violence against women and children.

That Islam condones such violence does not imply that their laws condone it. Rather, it means that Public Opinion in the Muslim world still honors the family before they do God.

In essence, the will of the family (hadith) is honored over sharia (the will of God).

So in essence, tho Muslim claim to believe in God, they still honor the family before they honor Sharia.

Indeed, they claim that honor killing are done out of respect to the will of Muslim society.

Though they believe in God, their first duty is to family, and they cover up their honor killings by hiding behind Mohammed.

For very few imams would dare disturb public order by condemning honor killing, lest some one in the Muslim community then think the community's honor is sullied by such "blasphemy".

In truth, honor killing is still a dishonor to God's will because the head of the family, a man, the father of the victim, usually a woman, kills and justifies it by stating clearly that is it the will of the Muslim community/society.

For the only authority then is Muslim society, not God.

Thus honor killing is done so that the Muslim man's honor is respected by his community.

Yet in taking a life, that Muslim is defying God's will.

That few Muslims see the difference between Muslim society and God with regard to God's will shows the depth of control that a society which uses shame as social control has over its people.

December 6th National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

Every year since 1981, Canada promotes awareness of violence against women on November 25.

On December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women is observed across Canada, informally known as White Ribbon Day.

This is the anniversary of the 1989 École Polytechnique Massacre, in which fourteen women were singled out for their gender and murdered.

Here are more facts about the perpetrator of the L'ecole Polytechnique Massacre worth remembering:

1.Marc Lépine/Gamil Gharbi frequently saw his father beat his mother.

2. Lepine's mother was French-Canadian.

3. When Lepine/Gharbi entered the classroom, he fired two shots of his low powered small calibre rifle into the ceiling. He then ordered all the men in the room to leave, to which they meekly complied. The young women were then left alone in the classroom with Lepine. He shouted "You're all a bunch of fucking feminists!" and started shooting.

Just consider that last point a while: The men all walked away. They abandoned the women. This was an abdication of the most fundamental value of manhood, to protect the women & children. If, instead of walking out the door, the men had rushed Lapine, throwing books & desks at him, and tackled him to the ground, he would have had time to get off maybe one more shot. And we would be remembering many brave heroes instead of 14 dead women.

So mark December 6 on your calendar as a day of remembrance and action against violence against women.

That allows for Human Rights Day, to call for action for all victims of child abuse!

Update:

Years later, when the Dawson College shooter, Kimveer Gill, started his rampage, nobody stopped him on the street even though it was evident he had a gun on him.

The only difference between then and now is that the police were quicker to secure the building and wounded him, only to have him then commit suicide.

Though, in Kimveer's case, it appears to be too many late nights playing online games while suffering insomnia, combined with social isolation, among other things.

Gurjeet Dhahan: "Girls will make a decision for themselves. Girls never made a decision before. Now's the time to do that."

The Indo Canadian woman who was shot twice in the head back in October 2006 by her estranged husband is speaking out against domestic abuse by Indo-Canadian men.

Gurjeet Dhahan may be blind, but she's outspoken.

After she comes back from her vacation in the UK, she'll be ready to urge changes in the Indo-Canadian community.

Hopefully her outspokenness won't put her on the radar by any misogynist Indo-Canadian males.
