Reply to comment by vladimirraul in Spain calls second emergency meeting over murders of six more women by misana123

Right it certainly can be sexist crime, but I dont think we should always treat it as such. Wouldn't that be similar to treating all violence between different races as a hate crime?

So there is this term "femicide". It is a thing. Check out UNODC.1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men are experiencing domestic violence. So the ratio is much higher for women. 2.5 in 100 000 in africa femicide // 1.4 in 100 000 in America // 1.2 in 100 000 in Oceania // 0.8 in Asia // 0.6 in Europe

So 4760 women commit femicide per year in the US? I would worry more, but that’s like 1.4 per 100,000 women ..

Oh god no. I hope Tate learns how to deal with his weakness.

I should have looked it up before I posted. I thought it was quite the reverse. I think from post context, I thought femicide was when women killed their domestic abuser. I have corrected my thinking.

Apology accepted. Now about the bit where I responded to your comment instead of editing my prior comment. Now my comment seems so out of context from where you originally posted asking if I was biased or a Tate lover. You edited your post. I prefer a continuation of conversations. Not backsies.
