Hate crimes?[edit]

Most of the listed crimes don't seem to be hate crimes. Many rapes are motivated at least partly by hate of women but certainly not all. War rape typically involves hatred of an enemy ethnic group, not of women in particular - its just that its expression against young women is likely to be in the form of rape, while against other cohorts it may involve murder, torture, or other mistreatment. FGM is highly debatable - you could argue that it is (in at least some manifestations) a sort of social hate crime, I guess. Forced prostitution is primarily an economic crime (like ordinary slavery). All these things may incidentally involve hatred of women in many cases but hardly fit the definition of hate crime. Should this article be about gender-motivated hate crime, or about gender-differentiated crime in general? Megalophias (talk) 04:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Predominantly against women[edit]

I'd like some sort of citation for this claim since it doesn't really seem to fit the concept of a gender crime. The most obvious instances of gender crimes are the mass murders of males (viricides) in armed conflicts. It's certainly true that women are victims of gender crimes too, especially in armed conflicts (rape as a psychological oppressor), but this doesn't provide proof that they're the main victim. This considered, I'm removing that line from the page, feel free to put it back in if you find an unbiased source to which it can be credited. BGH122 (talk) 20:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)BGH[reply]
