Blog #3 Women's Discrimination Project

While I was finding my research for this project, I came across several different scenarios where a man, went and shot up or killed several women at a time simply because of her gender. Majority were recently or within the past 10 years, which is extremely disappointing. In Pittsburgh, George Sodini opened fire in a gym killing 3 women and injuring 9 others. On Sodini's blog, people later learned that he specifically targeted women because they were female. In 2006 there were two other occurrences. The first one was where a gunman went into an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania; he sent all of boys outside and opened fire on over a dozen girls. He killed 5. The second occurrence was in Colorado; a man sexually assaulted six female students that he had take into hostage before killing all 6 of them. Just between these three past situations, it shows how big of a problem discrimination against women in America is.
