Tell me how the vicious murder of an old vulnerable lone woman by a man is not terrorism - it certainly terrifies all women and limits their freedom. And the numbers of women killed by men each year is certainly a product of woman hating misogynist ideologies.

Its right there in your screenshot. The act has to be carried out in the name of a political, religious or ideological cause.

Misogyny is an ideology.

All murders are an unmitigated tragedy. But to call it terrorism based of the fact that the victim was a woman isn't reasonable or accurate.
