I was a young girl when the Polytechnique massacre happened on December 6th.
14 beautiful lives with brilliant brains taken because of some egotistical and ignorant misogynistic monster.
The intent of the message was clear for any young woman in STEM, “You do not belong here and it is dangerous”.
But this is wrong.
We do belong.
We always did.
And everyday,
by persevering,
we prove him wrong.
