Misogynists in the news

Jean-Claude Rochefort, charged with inciting hatred toward women, has lost his right to a jury trial after showing up late for jury selection. Rochefort notably posted praise of the Polytechnique killer and his actions.

Another local misogynist, Marc Magendie, has been found in possession of a lot of guns and ammunition. Magendie has a track record as a “plaideur quérulent” – a vexatious litigant – and an owner of illegal weapons.
