Targeted hatred and violence towards a religious group: hate crime
Targeted hatred and violence towards a race: hate crime
Targeted hatred and violence towards women: mental illness
See the problem yet?

But in the case of this specific crime the attacker has a longstanding diagnosis of schizophrenia. You don’t believe that it could be relevant to the offence?
@minifingerz
You’re missing the point of my tweet. Anytime it’s an attack by a white man, it’s labelled mental illness. Mental illness is suddenly the case of all misogynist killings
@karenwhybro
Your complaint is that there's a double standard. So either you want all hatred and violence towards women to be a hate crime, or you want all hatred and violence towards a religious group or a race to be excused due to mental illness. Which?
@karenwhybro
If you're against the insanity defense (ID), are you also against involuntary commitments (IC)?
Both rest on the same premise, that certain mental illnesses cause people to be a threat to themselves or others. Consistency would require ID and IC to end or both to stand.
@karenwhybro
Yeah, hatred is completely legal and everyone has to deal with it... violence is always wrong
I've seen women push men to the point of violence... still should be some jail time and end of relationship imo, getting mad never helps anybody, some weren't meant to be together
@karenwhybro
Targeted hatred and violence towards race on a public, systemic level: genocide, condemn it and intervene!
Targeted hatred and violence towards women on a public, systemic level: culture, we shouldn't judge ❤️
@karenwhybro
Yes, hate crimes should not be a crimes.
Targeted violence-assault etc > jail/prison.
Targeted ongoing harrasment - harrasment or something like that. > Jail/prison
@karenwhybro
You’re leaving out the targeted violence against men. Men severely underreport due to how they will be perceived (as being weak) and because we stand a greater chance of getting locked up even if we are not the aggressor. Men don’t kill millions of babies every year through…
