Quote:Sex-motivated violence is common

Acts of hatred towards women and girls regularly occur in Canada. Some involve violence. Femicide is defined as the killing of women and girls because of their sex or gender. However, sex-motivated violence is rarely treated as hate crime.

The Montréal Massacre is the best known example of sex-motivated killing in Canada. On Dec. 6, 1989, a lone white male, armed with a gun, entered École Polytechnique at the Université of Montréal and killed 14 women. He killed them because they were women and, in his view, feminists, towards whom he expressed hatred.

It absolutely should be, and the fact that it isn't, and is basically treated like a joke when people advocate that it should be, just shows how deep and pervasive misogyny is to so many cultures across the world.

Wasn't there a ridiculous situation in some European country where they opted not to make misogyny a hate crime because then there would be SO MUCH of it and be overwhelming or something? I want to say it was the UK but I'll need to double check on that. The absolute least they could do is make violence towards women like this a hate crime, but it'll be a long time coming before anyone's willing to do that.
