Femicide is a very widely used term specifically to talk about the phenomena of missing and murdered women across North and Central America and is considered a hate crime in some parts of Latin America.

i mean, maybe this is my inner “survivor of child abuse” talking, but I am not going to tell abusive parents that they’re bad at bringing up their children without a bullet proof plan with regards to how I could protect my student from the emotional and physical backlash of that meeting.

Important thing to remember about intervening in abuse in general. Any actions taken by others to hold the abuser accountable WILL be taken out on the victim and not the person doing the confronting. Do not confront an abuser about their actions unless you know for absolute certain that you can protect their victim from the fallout.

Does anyone know any newish radfem or rad leaning books? Like 2010's to present day.

Why Women Are Blamed For Everything by Dr Jessica Taylor, about the psychology of victim blaming. Grim but straightforward reading.

Also Testosterone Rex by Cordelia Fine, about the science of sex differences.

"The Baby Business: How Money, Science, and Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception" by Debora Spar (2006) is a little older but it's a fascinating critique of surrogacy and the fertility industry as a whole
