"A memorial erected in Vancouver sparked controversy because it was dedicated to "all women murdered by men", which critics say implies all men are potential murderers. As a result, women involved in the project received death threats and the Vancouver Park Board subsequently banned any future memorials that might "antagonize" other groups."

My God, it's 'not all men'. Except 30 years earlier and maybe the worst possible place to bring that argument up.
The accompanying death threats haven't changed, that's for sure. This is why I pitch anyone who uses the argument out the 59th floor window.
