Woman Worship: What is December 6th?


On December 6th of 1989, Marc Lépine entered the École Polytechnique
de Montréal with a rifle and killed 14 women.

Every year since that year, Canadians – especially in the educational
institutions – have commemorated that bloody event with activities
and slogans of all sorts: Conferences, hoisting of the national flag,
demonstrations, "moments of silence," not to forget the wearing of
the white ribbon. The question arises naturally: what is the goal of
the "remembrance campaign" and how does it remember that event?

On December 6th, it is not the mere violence of the event that is
remembered – honest people with a good memory can remember many at
least equally violent acts that have not survived in the public
memory. In reality, the subject of commemoration is very specifically
the violence done against women in that act. The campaigners do not
hide that fact; it is in fact the main slogan of their campaign.

It is thus not impertinent to ask why remember a murder case – and
thus, privilege it among so many forgotten murder cases – only
because its targets were women, not men or children.

The answer to this can be nothing other than that we, in the modern
West, live in a gynaecocratic (from 'gyne' and 'krateia') society:
that is to say a society ruled by feminine principles and women.

A gynaecocratic society recognizes the law of the earth to be
supreme. This law is the law of generation and fertility; the earth
is seen as the Mother of Life. Everything is subjected to the earth:
life generates from it and dissolves in it. The dissolution of all
beings into the earth shows that passivity is the dominant
characteristic of this doctrine. Moreover, all beings are equal in
the eyes of the Mother-earth principle. Thus, inequality and
hierarchy are seen as "injustices" to this lazy law of nature. It is
from this very principle that stems the myth of "social equality" so
dear to the modern mind. All of this is inconceivable to the
transcendental virile spirit whose essential qualities are power and
combativeness.

That our society is based on feminine principles does not necessarily
mean that its actual (temporal) rulers are women. Men can be robbed
from their virile spirit and be turned into eunuchs; modern
politicians are a perfect example of this. The popular saying "Behind
every great man is a great woman" clearly reflects this situation.

Indeed, – and lest we underrate the value of our statement above – we
in the West live in a society in which women are the object of
worship and reverence; in our case, we can even speak of `Woman' as a
deity embodying everything inherently feminine. The emancipation of
women in the West does not start with feminism – feminism is a much
later and extreme form of the emancipatory process – but goes back to
a period in history when the natural and materialistic qualities were
placed over the transcendent principles represented by the virile
warrior and the ascetic. The economical primacy in every domain of
modern existence compared to the spiritual primacy in the European
Middle-Ages is a very contrasting example of that shift. This change
is also reflected in the rise of the bourgeois and merchant over the
priestly and warrior castes, which have become extinct in today's
world.

Just like most great religions see the death of their icons and
saints as events of the greatest importance and most worthy of
commemoration, the modern, gynaecocratic West sees in an act against
women and womanhood a cause of remembrance and "collective worship."
The white ribbon is indeed the rosary the Christian holds in time of
prayer and the ihram the Muslim wears at Mecca. Moreover, the female
victims of December 6th are remembered as nothing less
than "martyrs" – a word not so out of place considering that those
women were "consecrated" for having suffered for a principle: that of
the diffusion of the feminine spirit in the West – like early
Christians in Roman arenas for diffusing the message of Christ.

Most readers will be quick to react: "But the women who died in that
event were innocent and might not even have been feminists." Indeed,
when Marc Lépine told the women he rounded up that he was "fighting
feminism," one of them tried to tell him that they were not all
necessarily feminists. Lépine was well aware of that. What those
women weren't aware of is that their very presence at university and
their very situation in society were the result of the growing
influence of the "religion of the Womb" in the West. Seen in this
light, those women, surely innocent as individuals, were yet symbols
in a larger context which Lépine could not have overlooked. It is
thus interesting to note that Lépine did not target mothers,
housewives or even nuns – those types represent the traditional
female roles – but specifically university women. Ironically, the
placing of the pathos and the individual over the macroscopic and the
political context is in itself inherent to the feminine mind – a
subversion that would have been inconceivable in a virile society.

In his suicide note, Lépine wrote: "Even if the Mad Killer epithet
will be attributed to me by the media, I consider myself a rational
erudite that only the arrival of the Grim Reaper [La Faucheuse] has
forced to take extreme acts." People, including experts, brush off
this remark as "typical of all serial killers." It is easy to discard
something in such a way by generalizing and speaking ad hominem in
order to abolish all possible opposition or further investigation
into the matter. The truth is that Lépine's sentence should not be
overlooked, for it subsumes in its blunt honesty the entire condition
in the West. Indeed, Lépine's notice can be read as a confession: "I
was born a man in a society that castrates men and turns them into
eunuchs before they can become conscious and react. But somehow
society forgot to castrate me. Now, I am a complete foreigner in my
world and here is my revenge to those who made it so."

Some people will say that our argument is self-contradictory. They
will say: "Isn't it ironic that an act aimed at fighting the
gynaecocratic society has provided that very society with another
tool for its expansion and another `worship day' on its calendar?"
and "Wouldn't it be better to fight feminism in a more `civilized'
way?"

It is not useful to describe Lépine's act as either morally "good"
or "bad." In this case, the socio-political and spiritual situation
is much more revealing of the act's true nature and background. That
situation has been explained as existence in a gynaecocratic society:
a society that is ruled by feminine, naturalistic principles in
opposition to virile, transcendental principles.

Moreover, the act's "barbarity" should be seen as nothing more than
desperation in the face of an overwhelming situation. Again, there
are hints of this in Lépine letter: "I have decided to send Ad Patres
the feminists who have always ruined my life. For seven years life
has brought me no joy; and it being totally blasé, I have decided to
put an end to those viragos."

Whether the act has been useful in fighting feminism or not is not
within the scope of this text, which only aims at explaining the
causes and nature, not the consequences, of the act. As a direct
consequence, the act has obviously contributed to the cause feminism.
However, the gynaecocratic society including feminism will crumble
sooner or later. Indeed, without the higher, virile principles to
direct it and give it form, the naturalistic, feminine society is
doomed to collapse on itself just like everything under its banner.
However, it remains to be seen whether the present situation is
better fought directly, or indirectly, by contributing to its cause
and accelerating the process of dissolution. Or, to borrow an Indian
metaphor: "to transform into cure the poison that cannot be removed."
