Using hateful slurs during an attack doesn't constitute a hatecrime, The motivation for the attack is what constitutes a hate crime. Nazis rounded jews up in systematically gassed them to death based on their religion. That is a hate crime.

What is a gendered attack
Scum bags attack innocent victim. What's the gender got to do with it? The scum bag trait exists among men and women.
what difference does gender make (surely irrelevant??).
What has gender to do with it? And apart from the gender of the victim and perpetrators have I missed something?
Why is that clear? Why is it a hate crime?

"Why do some men get upset, angry and offended at gay people existing, they could have just minded their own business on what other's people's sexuality is but they rather intervene in strangers lives and beat them up for being gay."

I have been trying to have a dialogue with you here and the other thread even admitting when I was wrong but now its clear to see you do not give a **** about either attacks your only trying to further an agenda that somehow all women are against men. I am out now of this

Thanks for this, I believe this can highlight where we fundamentally disagree. Although I agree with your definition of hate crime, it might be more useful to use examples to see if that fits our definitions. I believe that a hate crime should be one that is motivated by a prejudice, so the involvement of hateful speech during an attack would not constitute one; so intent must be proven. If someone was attacked and called hateful slurs during attack. (for me not necessarily a hate crime) I believe you would call this a hatecrime, but by your very definition you have not proven motivation. The attacker could be opportunistic with their use of hateful words during an attack, it doesn't necessarily mean it motivated the attack. If a person has proven to have attacked the person because of that characteristic. i.e. they stated it in court (I think we agree this is a hate crime)
