Not just academia. There's a certain type who sees this kind of thing and jumps in with "My demographic has known about this for years! You guys are so dumb. If you'd just let me run the show instead of getting offended when I call you slavering mouth-breathers we wouldn't be in this mess!"

Most people possess empathy. Where most people fall short is empathising with people they see as a threat.

So it's murder, but specifically a murder the perpetrator believes is justified because the victim was a woman. Think an incel who kills women as "revenge" against society or a man who kills a family member because she won't obey him.

From the NY Times article on this:
The new crime of femicide — which was adopted on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women — applies to murders where women are killed as an “act of hatred or discrimination,” or “an act of control or possession or domination.”

Depends. I'd like an option that lets me choose which regions' politics I'm interested in while also letting me ignore anything happening in sports in any part of the world.

"The system also monitors pedestrians, cyclists and emergency vehicles, and alters traffic-light timing as necessary." This is the part I'm most interested in. Driving up McGill at rush hour is slow, but that's because the lights are timed so it won't take 30 min for pedestrians get to Square Vic.
