Marc Lepine.

Marc Lepine murdered 14 woman, only at the age of 25. Lepine was a troubled young man and had a traumatic childhood growing up. His father was abusive towards him and his younger sister, he also was a sexist. His father believed woman had no purpose and was incapable of doing the things men could do. Lepines parents separated when he was 7 years old, he and his sister lived with other families and saw their mother on weekends. Lepine was considered bright,but had difficluties making connections with his peers and family members. He could never connect with people or create a relationship. He complained about women working in non-traditional jobs, and after separating men and women in a classroom, he shot the women, claiming that he was fighting feminism. He then moved into other parts of the building, targeting women as he went, before killing himself. His suicide note blamed feminists for ruining his life. I think that his actions come from his home life as a child growing up, he had violence in his family and was brought up to believe that women were worthless and were below men, he had a strong hatred towards women.
