It’s rare for Italian lawmakers from across the political spectrum to agree on anything. But on Tuesday, the lower house of Parliament unanimously ratified a law introducing the crime of femicide into Italy’s criminal code, punishable by life in prison.

Irrelevant, because again

  1. Justice is not a 0-sum game: generalizing the increase in penalties to any gender hatred accomplishes the same without gender discrimination.

  2. Did you know there are other genders in the world? Your bias is showing.

Maybe bring that up with the Italian government.

Not arguing with them, arguing with your immoral defense.

I’m not continuing this conversation with you though.

As if anyone should care? Abandon your argument: it's clearly not worth defending.

Nah, you’re just rude, aggressive, and not intending to discuss or understand , but to cudgel. My time’s worth more. Blocked :)
