In order for there to have been a "hate crime", there must first be a "crime". For example, assaulting someone for being black has the "crime" element in the assault, and the "hate" element in the motivation.
Where was the crime here?

It is funny to see how people in general respond to this or topic such as these cartoons and say it is freedom of speech. But when it comes to topics like sexism, there is a lot more angst and no freedom of speech talk.

This doesn't even make sense. No one has stated that people should be killed for being sexist, or even sanctioned by law except where sexist behaviour demonstrably harms someone. If you think all women should be making babies and sandwiches I think you're an a$$hole and I'm happy to tell everyone you are, but you're still entitled to be an a$$hole.
