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

    So instead of tuning the law by adding a few lines about sex-centered homicides, they invented the new term and just stated that some sex is more important than other. It is amazing how politicians manage to invent the most stupid solution to any problem.

      No need to lose your mind, this is just a new category of hate crime, no sex is more important than the other.

      It is amazing how bigots manage to invent the most stupid excuses to being hateful.

        no sex is more important than the other.

        So that mean they also have laws for androcide. Right?

          No, because that basically doesn’t exist and usually no one makes laws for things that don’t exist.

          Feel free to keep trying to justify your misoginy, I am mildly entertained.

            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.

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

              Anyway a “gendercide” 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.

                    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.
