Others point out that while ethnic cleansing has too often achieved its aims of near or total extermination, 性别灭绝从未达到如此极端的程度. 认识到这些困难后. Oberle proposes a framework for incorporating gender into our understanding of peace and conflict. This presentation offers a comparative and historical analysis of global examples of gendercide and its aims and effects. Case studies include the missing women in China due to the one-child policy, 印度的男性偏好和性别选择性堕胎, the extermination of the third gender Joyas among indigenous communities in pre-colonial California, and the targeted mass killing of battle-age noncombatant males in Bosnia.
