TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - "You're all a bunch of feminists": Categorization and the politics of terror in the montreal massacre JO - Human studies A1 - Eglin, P. SP - 253 EP - 272 VL - 22 IS - 2-4 N2 - Following Sacks's model membership categorization analysis (MCA) of a suicidal person's conclusion 'I have no one to turn to,' the paper examines in MCA terms a political actor's twin conclusions that murder-suicide is a rational course of action. The case in question is the killer's reasoning in the Montreal Massacre as revealed in his reported announcement at the scene (notably 'You're all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists') and recovered suicide letter (for example, 'For why persevere to exist if it is only to please the government').
