Why homicides and femicides are different?

Question

I heard on several occasions that when a women is murdered i n the hands of men it is a crime based on the gender but when a man is murdered is a crime that is nto based on the gender. In the dictionary says:
"Femicide is a sex-based hate crime term, broadly defined as "the intentional killing of females (women or girls) because they are females", though definitions vary depending on its cultural context

."Homicide: is the act of one human killing another. A homicide requires only a volitional act by another person that results in death, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm.

So why most people, mostly men say otherwise?

Even if a woman murder a man, when she does the crime is not based on the gender but for other reasons. When a woman kills another woman is not based either on the gender. So it is true when society says when a woman is murdered it is indeed beause we were born females and taht is the only reason men committ femicides.

I read this on Facebook wrote by a man regarding crimes against women.

"Thanks to the Feminist movement, women had been able to have access more to the public sphere but there are people who see this as a bad thing (men mostly) because they believe women will take away that privilege in the public sphere and msot of the time they are not aware of it" So why do you think femicides are more public than whem a woman murders a man? Because the key here is to humilliate and expose that women who wants to have access to that public sphere. in hands of the ones who have this sphere (men). Men who are murdered by other men in gang related problems, or drug related crimes, are not publicky exposed, harrased not even tortured becauase they are men. Women are raped, assaulted and exposed in order to be discredited. Most of the time they are ripped from their private spheres (homes, schools neighrboods) most of the time by men they know.

That is the reason why women bodies who are vicitms of femicides are displayed on the streets cause it is a public punishment, jsut becuae they are women. For example a woman who is killed during a bank robbery is not a femicide victim, on the other hand a girl of 11 years old who is raped and murdered and ripped in pieces by her neighbor is a femicide. Just imagine that they murder just because who you are only to show they have power over you because they can. So men stop saying "we are also

murdered because it does not look good, instead, support women who is around you , do not wait until they dissapear"

This text is also based on the fact that becasue we are women it is not fair we do not have the freedom to travel alone, do things alone without alwys being scared that some sick perv wil harm os out there if we are alone because we are women.

I know but becuse is gender thing most women will like to seek justice when that happens because if a woman kills a man is homicide and police do nto pay attention much, beacuse is not a gender killing.

Añso I said that because in my country where I live for the past 7 months or more there had been many femicides and women in my country are demanding femicides need to be stopped now so they say femicides ais about men being machos plain and simple. Also because women here where I lvie are angry that we cannot have the freedom to be alone out there without the riks of being raped and murd4ere just because we are women. Women here are demanding we do not need protectiong from men and we want to have that freedom to do things by our own without making a man upset for them to have a reason to kills us.

Like that a men should not comment anything negative on how a woman dress, regardles if the woman wears clothes like a hooke or not r cause it is their body and she does what she wants with it. Women are seeking that we want freedom for those things. Im just saying here what other women are saying in my country regarding those latest femicides in my country. ALso there is a saying on social media among women now in my country regarding those latest femicides that says "I was born to be free not to be murdered"

Women are physically assaulted less often than men. Stop playing the victim.

No, most women do NOT agree with you and that's why not a single woman has responded here. Just because a man kills a woman (or a woman kills a man) does NOT make it a "gender related crime". But victim-minded women like you have to try to make it about gender to support you gender victim politics. All you are doing is diving the genders even further, which is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

In my country the term femicide is legally used to differentiate a crime against men (drugs, gang related stuff, money, vengeance) and a crime against women (sex, domestic violence jealousy, abuse, rape). Different motives to kill a man and different motives to kill a woman, the reason there are 2 different terms for each gende crimer and in my country works this way.

Criminals aren’t charged with femicide. it’s a subcategory of homicide made to analysis major crime frequencies.
