Italy’s parliament on Tuesday approved a law that introduces femicide into the country’s criminal law and punishes it with life in prison.

    Would it have been difficult to introduce a gendercide law?

    If androcide doesn’t exist, it wouldn’t matter anyway, right?

    So that you know, all the feminists fighting for equality are satisfied with having equal rights and laws for both genders.

    Unless…

      So you are infuriated by the name? That sounds like misogyny since there are no androcides and the law, whatever the name, would still concern only femicides.

      Anyway a “gendercide” law could be great and could include also hate crimes against homosexuals, transsexuals and so on, but guess what?

      Other bigots like you go completely nuts when someone mentions these words and the current proposed law for that specific type of crimes is blocked.

        Infuriated? I see someone is projecting.

        Like myself? Uhm. Wasn’t I the one who just said they should have introduced a gendercide law?

        I think it’s time for one of us to take a nap.

          Thank you for the eloquent answer 😂

          EDIT: you are the one who is proposing (completely out of nowhere) a “gendercide” law even though you know androcides don’t exist and even though you didn’t mention other genders.

          Sounds all purely in bad faith, which is why I’m prone to include you in the bigots club.

            Honestly any kind of gender-motivated hate murder should be punished but from my point of view isn’t the biggest issue the murder part? If you’re already sentencing someone for an intentional murder wouldn’t they be ideally getting something resembling a maximum sentence? In which case would the specific motive really make a huge difference in punishment? I’m just trying to understand why this is a big deal when the starting point is already murder.

              No, there are many cases and conditions that can change the final sentence, which can be, but not always is, the life sentence (26 years in italy or 21 with “good behavior”).

              I’m not an expert though so for better informations you should research it yourself.
