They are called "Macho Killings" because the victims are women and the killers are men.
The motives of the majority of such violent deaths stem from jealousy, a possessive mentality or being rejected which seems to collide with the macho claim to power over women in Latin "cultures".
So, such killings tell us something about the relation of the genders.
Nothing more, nothing less.

In the papers.
Yes, in statistics they are simply numbers.
But then the numbers reveal 'cultural' realities.
In India women are burnt for dowry, in many muslim countries they are stoned for adultery.
In many Latin countries women are killed by 'machistas'.

Well...The issue then is not who the victim is, but rather making sure the law is enforced and transgressors punished.
It does, yes.How about a new law: "violencia contra el hombre" - sounds ridiculous doesn't it.
Macho-systems regard the man "equaller".Either women are equal or they are not.
Not really... :tired:How about a new law: "violencia contra el hombre" - sounds ridiculous doesn't it.
A lot more women are beaten and killed than men.
