Probability and statistics crowd in upon us. . . . There are more explicit statements of probabilities presented on American prime time television than explicit acts of violence. . . . Our public fears are endlessly debated in terms of probabilities: chances of meltdowns, cancers, muggings, earthquakes, nuclear winters, AIDS, global greenhouses, what next? There is nothing to fear (it may seem) but the probabilities themselves. (Hacking 4–5)

On Wednesday, 6 December 1989, around 5 P.M., Marc Lepine (né Gamil Roderigue Gharbi) dressed in hunting garb entered a classroom in the École Polytechnique. Disturbing a presentation by Eric Chavarie, he waved a .22caliber rifle and ordered the men and women into opposite corners of the classroom. Thinking it was a joke arranged to relieve the tedium of the last hour of the term, no one moved. A single gunshot persuaded them otherwise. Next, Lepine ordered the men to leave. Alone with the women, he stated, "I am here to fight against feminism that is why I am here." Nathalie Provost, a 23year-old mechanical engineering student, argued, "Look, we are just women studying engineering, not necessarily feminists ready to march on the streets to shout we are against men, just students intent on leading a normal life." Lepine responded, "You're women, you're going to be engineers. You're all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists." He then opened fire, killing six women-and closing the discussion. After leaving the classroom, Lepine stalked through the halls of the school saying, "I want the women." Lepine killed himself at approximately 5:35 p.m., his gun still loaded and the police not yet in sight. The total death count: fourteen women and Marc Lepine.

Asian American literature begins, for the moment, with two Anglo-Chinese Canadian sisters. Over the last decade, Asian Americanist scholars Amy Ling and Annette White-Parks have established Edith Maude Eaton (1865–1914) and (Lillie) Winnifred Eaton (1875–1954) as the first Asian North American writers of fiction (Ling, Between 21; Ling, “Creating” 306; Ling and White-Parks 1). The two founders, however, have not been equally appreciated. Asian American criticism tends to see Edith Eaton, who adopted the Chinese pseudonym Sui Sin Far and who wrote sympathetically about Chinese immigrants, as a conscientious social critic. Winnifred Eaton, on the other hand, who wrote under the fabricated Japanese pseudonym Onoto Watanna and enjoyed a successful career writing popular orientalia, is regarded as a sellout and a race traitor.1 Shawn Wong, himself a pioneer of Asian American literature, summarizes this still prevalent view in his introduction to Sui Sin Far/Edith Eaton’s short story “The Americanizing of Pau Tsu”:
目前,亚裔美国人文学始于两个英裔华裔加拿大姐妹。在过去的十年里,亚裔美国学者凌志美(Amy Ling)和安妮特·怀特-帕克斯(Annette White-Parks)将伊迪丝·莫德·伊顿(1865-1914)和莉莉·温妮弗莱德·伊顿(Lillie Winnifred Eaton, 1875-1954)确立为北美第一批亚裔小说作家。凌,《创造》306;然而,这两位创始人并没有得到同样的赞赏。亚裔美国评论家倾向于把伊迪丝·伊顿(Edith Eaton)视为一位有良心的社会评论家。伊顿的中文笔名是隋善法(Sui Sin Far),她对中国移民持同情态度。另一方面,用假名“渡渡小本”写作的温妮弗雷德·伊顿则被认为是卖国贼和种族叛徒作为亚裔美国文学的先驱,黄文豪在给隋诗法/伊迪丝·伊顿的短篇小说《波祖的美国化》的序言中总结了这一仍然流行的观点:
