Femicide, amirite fellas?
Homicide
You don't think specifying "mother" where the neutral "parent" exists is of any relevance? 🤨
Femicide is just silly in this context, a son kills the parent, homicide.
Its most likely not a hate thingie, children kill parents all the time in America. Everyone kills everyone
This rush to always be creating a gender or racial tone is irritating
I think if they said parent people would be annoyed they didnt specify and wonder if theres some sort of coverup or reason for not doing so
Why do you think it's irritating to acknowledge that domestic violence is heavily influenced by gendered dynamics?
~~Because that should be a result or conclusion or at least a freaking product of the investigation and the facts, its being forced into the narrative otherwise regardless of whether it is actually a relevant factor~~
Why do you think its okay to jump to a conclusion even if its a lie and fuckup or compromise an entire investigation or introduce unnecessary gender politics just so you get to say the F-word (femicide)
