That’s not irony.

It also assumes I paid anything for this iPhone 7…which I didn’t.

But that argument is nonsense, anyways. Apparently you have to be a caveman or you can’t criticize anything? That would be pretty convenient for you.

Well, I did say “got to be”. Just an observation…I obviously don’t know if this was necessary or useful.

Got to be a symptom of end-stage capitalism.

Should be noted that his justification is a lunatic the CIA hired and then brought back from Afghanistan.

I don’t agree that it doesn’t change anything: it serves two purposes. First, the law has unique statutes when assessing culpability…second it serves as a public awareness tool, a deterrent, when the crimes happen - and all laws are ultimately intended to be deterrents.

You’re just saying “murder is murder is murder”, and that’s simply not how any court functions.

I mean…ya…but this “quote” doesn’t appear to me to be talking about the wealthy…but rather addressing the notion that poor people and the unemployed have no value if they don’t have employment/can’t find better employment.

Could be wrong.

Femicide is a type of murder. You seem to just be playing word games. Culpability is important for justice. Different types are murder are treated differently…it’s not a complicated concept.

I don’t even know what you’re trying to argue at the end. There are a lot of important “pillars” when you’re dealing with real world issues. You don’t just focus on one/your preferred pillar or attack the other pillars…you work together to build more and buttress what you have.

There’s nothing interesting to me in this comment. You seem more concerned with semantics and self-assurance than engaging with the issue.

I said what I mean and I have nothing more to add.

Are you the layer for this commenter? “I know you are but what am I” doesn’t interest me, as a rhetorical tactic. Speak for yourself.

Yes, the law is discriminatory. Men and women are different, and we should discriminate between them in terms of culpability for murder - when appropriate. In this instance it’s appropriate because there’s an outsized number of women being targeted for their gender.

No, removing gender from a law designed to address a gender issue would discriminate against the gender it’s trying to protect. I’m guessing you were trying to say does it discriminate against men: no, it doesn’t.

No, thank you. I’m not interested in some random chart with no sourcing.

The first word in PPP is “purchasing”. It should be self-evident.

My comment wasn’t intended to be zero sum. Both countries have elements of socialism and capitalism…but one certainly “leans” more in the capitalist direction.

I absolutely agree. In my mind this is an example where people could be “yes-and”ing the law: Yes, female victims absolutely need more nuanced protection, and male sexual assault victims need more nuanced protection (for example).

The reason you don’t see a lot of these folks arguing for a men’s equivalent…is they know that it’s functionally not a problem…which also undercuts their own argument.

I can imagine…I work in poverty outreach and with at risk youth…I hear some grotesque things from across the spectrum.

I’m a full Reddit refugee…a few months ago I got a 3 day auto ban for directly quoting Worf from Star Trek. Not going back, this time…the time I was away from it made me realize what an enshitified mess it has become.

PPP also isn’t an appropriate measure because it partially assumes capitlaism.

it’s an appropriate measure.

You can’t compare a large country with low population density to a small one with high density, for example.

No, not “all measures”…by your words - you appear to be making an American exceptionalism argument. Canada is in the top 10, the USA isn’t. I agree that China isn’t.

It’s not “more than murder”, no. It’s a type of murder.

No there shouldn’t, the vast majority of cases of rapes are committed by men. If you were being logically consistent, you’d advocate for a different word/charge for cases of rape against men - because that’s one of the largest category of unreported sexual crime.

Femicide also has a “purpose and effect”, because you’re proving a different crime.

I think you have a limited understanding of the law and the world.

Appropriate culpability and awareness. The law is designed to both serve as a mechanism for appropriate justice, as well as a way to highlight and ongoing problem in Italian culture.

“Triggered” is really good way to categorize these responses.

The topic makes them project concepts onto it, like the perpetrators must be male - which is basically telling on themselves.

At no point does this law say femicide is more or less important than other murder.

You didn’t understand the link you posted to me correctly and I’d expect you’d misunderstand anything I pasted to you as well.

Nowhere in that quote does it mention the gender or orientation of the perpetrator. You seem to fundamentally project your own biases.
