    Is there a word for killing someone because he’s a man? Not trying to be “that guy” but I literally only just heard the word femicide and am curious.

      If you think of it, it’s for the sad reason that men are kind of expected to be killed, by war, conflict, work, disease, etc. In a way the “default” for murder became related to how men most often die. This is still sexism, however.
