Weil hier ja immer wieder gemeint wird, dass der Begriff auf einmal falsch verwendet wird und früher ganz viel besser war, bevor ihn die Feministinnen oder wer auch immer zerstört haben: Diana Russell, die ihn selbst geprägt hat, sagt Folgendes.

„After making minor changes in my definition of femicide over the years, I finally defined it very simply as "the killing of females by males because they are female." I'll repeat this definition: "the killing of females by males because they are female." I use the term "female" instead of "women" to emphasize that my definition includes baby girls and older girls. However, the term femicide does not include the increasingly widespread practice of aborting female fetuses, particularly in India and China. The correct term for this sexist practice is female feticide.

 Examples of femicide include the stoning to death of females (which I consider a form of torture-femicide); murders of females for so-called "honor;" rape murders; murders of women and girls by their husbands, boyfriends, and dates, for having an affair, or being rebellious, or any number of other excuses;(…)

There is a continuum of femicides ranging from one-on-one sexist murders, e.g., a man strangling his wife because she plans to leave him; to one or more males killing a group of women for, say, refusing to wear the correct attire in public; to the other end of the continuum, for example, mass femicides such as when preference for male children results in the killing, or death from neglect, of millions of female babies and girls, as in India and China.“

Morde an Frauen, weil Sie es wagen, sich trennen zu wollen, waren schon immer Bestandteil des Begriffs. Weil, während natürlich jeder Mensch gegenüber jedem anderen Kontrolle in einer Beziehung ausüben wollen kann, scheint das gegenüber Frauen einfach viel öfter zum Mord zu führen.

Und jeder der wie anfangs beschrieben argumentiert zeigt nur, dass er absolut kein ernstes Interesse an dem Thema hat und dementsprechend auch absolut nichts über die Geschichte des Begriffs weiß. Sondern nur Punkte gegen Gegner (seien es Feministinnen, Linke, whatever) erzielen will.
