	Gendercide should be distinguished from (a) real-life situations in which one sex or another is disproportionately favored (i.e., sex-selective [[infanticide]] or [[abortion]]); the intent ~~must be~~ to ''eliminate'' a gender; and (b) accidental plagues that happen to be sex-selective.		Gendercide should be distinguished from (a) real-life situations in which one sex or another is disproportionately favored (i.e., sex-selective [[infanticide]] or [[abortion]], as in late 20th/early 21st century China), where the intent is based on individuals; here we discuss works in which the intent is to ''eliminate'' a gender; and (b) accidental plagues or conditions of nature that happen to be sex-selective (e.g., ''[[Ammonite]]'' by [[Nicola Griffith]]).

'''Gendercide''' is the deliberate destruction of all the members of one sex/gender of a species.

It has been portrayed in SF a number of times; also, many ''post-gendercidal'' societies have been shown; see [[men-only worlds]] and [[women-only worlds]]. [[Sex war]]s might be intended to effect gendercide.

Gendercide should be distinguished from (a) real-life situations in which one sex or another is disproportionately favored (i.e., sex-selective [[infanticide]] or [[abortion]]); the intent must be to ''eliminate'' a gender; and (b) accidental plagues that happen to be sex-selective.
