This would have boosted the feminists morale.Not long now until they call for an outright ban of the game in Aus now....

Depends on how you define feminists.  To me this is the wrong tactic to help women achieve equality.  Taking away something from another group just angers them and entrenches their view of you as being an enemy or adversary.  The goal should be dialogue that women want to be treated with dignity and have equal oppurtunities across the globe.  

Video games fall under free expession like all art.  You are free to dislike something, can even state your dislike and encourage others not to partake.  The line is crossed when desire is to ban or restrict others access from art due to your objections. 

^ This.

Looking back at the game I can only think of one mission that has you intentionally kill a woman, and even then she does something so mind numbingly stupid that she kills herself.

This is such absolute bollocks.

I don't think this is the kind of "violence" they mean there.

It's probably due to the 1st person view and the possibility to make sex while with it.

Even then, that still makes no sense whatsoever. I can go first person and have mild comedic sex with a prostitute and then kill her afterwards. I can also go first person and shoot hoards of civlian men and police officers.
