I hate when articles don't lay out what the point is. I read some, skimmed the rest...still don't have the specific details down, but it sounds like 'women are people, just like men, and murder is still illegal' is being raged against as anti-woman or something?
“We have even got to the point of normalizing the fact that in many supposedly civilized countries, if you kill a woman, it is called femicide. And this carries more serious punishment than if you kill a man simply based on the sex of the victim – legally making a woman’s life be worth more than that of a man,” Milei told the forum
That's what he's trying to repeal, and what feminists are mad about.
On January 24, Argentina’s Minister of Justice Mariano Cúneo Libarona warned on X that the government of President Javier Milei would seek to eliminate femicide from the penal code on the grounds it was a distortion of the concept of equality.
Just make the femmycide punishment the standard murder punishment. Clearly it's good enough for women, it should be good enough for men. No need for inequality, just raise the bar for everyone, because no one should be killing anyways.
Idk about Argentina, but in Guatemala, femicide was a serious problem where men would murder women disproportionately to other men, so the laws were put in place to harshen the penalty for those who killed women. Maybe it’s the same in Argentina, idk. Any penalty that pushes murder closer to the death penalty is fine by me.
It is disproportionate, that's for sure: Women are hardly ever killed. That's probably not the point you were trying to make, but they're a privileged class both in legal protection, and in criminal aggression.

Literally demanding inequality.

Took me 2 minutes to google:
In 2022 Guatemala had 3004 homicides out of which 534 were women.
"Femicides" are feminist propaganda.
