Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

On December 6, 1989, a man entered an engineering classroom at the University of Montreal, separated the women from the men, and opened fire on the women, yelling, “You're women, you're going to be engineers. You're all a bunch of fucking feminists. I hate feminists!” Fourteen women were killed and another 10 women and 4 men were injured. The shooter then killed himself, leaving a suicide note that laid out a clear misogynist motive for his actions. The massacre occurred in the broader context of a backlash against feminist campaigns targeting campus rape culture and women's underrepresentation in engineering, galvanizing university response to sexist traditions in engineering schools. The massacre also elicited a national response, including the White Ribbon Campaign highlighting men's role in ending violence against women, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, and stricter gun control regulations across Canada.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
