So, either the long-standing trends of female infanticide in India and China That Boru described or the Elliot Rodger example I gave earlier don’t count why exactly?
He disagrees because if true it would put his culture in a bad light. Nothing more complicated than this.

RE: Do femicides really exist?
Yes.

The moment you abort a fetus, based solely on the fact that it's female, it's femicide (is that an actual word?).

When a woman is killed by family in an "honour" murder, it's femicide.

When a woman is killed because she violated a law/cultural taboo/tradition that applies only to women, it's femicide.

When an individual kills someone simply because they're female, it's femicide.

And if any of the above are carried out against men, then it's whatever the opposite of "femicide" is.

And example of the latter would bethe crimes of Eileen Wuernos (sp?) who had a general hatred of men.

Valk, did you forget the Chinese? Their "one child" rule made the abortion of female fetuses soar. They now have a surplus of males because the balance of genders was skewed so badly.

Yup. I think that, while it's much broader, falls under point 1.

If someone kills me it would be fungicide
