I'm not sure how threats of hate crimes targeted at women because they're women can be seen as anything other than sexism.

Well probably, but then again, the thoughtcrime of "sexism" is nowhere near the realcrime of "uttering death threats". In practice, the latter occurs next to never in our community, so while tragic, I do not get much argumentational oomph out of it, so to speak.

A good thing that people are asking for changes in behaviour rather than changes in thought, eh?
