Damned if you do, and damned if you don't, you're killed anyway

I saw this posting on Reddit and it presents an angle to the subject of women being murdered which I must confess that I've never thought of before. Having thought it over agree 100%, so

Why is femicide not considered a hate crime?

"If you attack or kill someone strictly because of their identity, religion, sexuality, "race, etc. it’s considered a hate crime. You are charged extra and more harshly. Men kill THREE women a day for the same reason, and they are not charged with hate crime. I’ve actually never even seen a man in America be charged with a hate crime, just oversees (mexico, you’re awesome) So why are women excluded from protection? Men would not be killing /beating/ raping us if we weren’t women. Men will specifically target us because we are easy prey, and have a vagina that they can take advantage of. I often hear the argument that it’s because it’s a domestic situation. You could say that the husband killed the wife because they got into a dispute that was not about gender, but ultimately the wife was killed because she is mostly likely weaker and smaller. It would have to be case by case, obviously if a husband kills his wife over a “non gender topic” then he would not be charged with a hate crime. I’m talking more about women that are attacked randomly. (Please keep this a friendly conversation! I’m not trying to fight or be mean with anyone ❤️)"

These murders are going on all over the world, but we have heard more about the worst atrocities in Muslim countries than of those in Western non-Muslim areas. However, that doesn't mean that The West, i.e. Christian societies, go free of rightful accusations. Murdering women has been a special "male sport" for ages, and in America right now there is a tightening of the shackles of the victims, so to speak, and women are losing out on many other issues like e.g. abortion. Actually, certain states are trying to turn their female citizens into some kind of "cattle" by claiming that they are not the true owners of their inborn uterus: Girls (children!!!!) and women are being criminalized for abortions even when their health is at stake if they don't have them. All of this is part of a pattern that gets more and more clear to those who know how to see, and it's not acceptable ....
