    Domestic violence is within a family, especially spouses, femicide is “when women and girls are killed because of their gender”, to quote the article.

      And how do you know that it had anything to do with their gender? Asking because I see many people call random murders, or rather anything that was not a multi-kill, femicides.

        Why so much fighting over a word for women being killed of misogyny? Odd thing to be defensive about. It feels like some people here think even giving women a word for being killed by misogynists is giving them too much.

          Because blaming every murder of a woman on misogyny is just as stupid as not acknowledging it at all. That’s my point.

              No one here, afaik. But it’s a common practice I see under a lot of posts, and I wanted to ask why.
