Oh yeah?  Try making a film about someone who goes around only
killing women.  90 minutes of a man pumping lead into women, and
only women.  Have him get away with it at the end, laughing.  Then
see if it wouldn't get banned, or at least theatres threatened
into not showing it anywhere.

PS: I would likely not enjoy such a film, but I still wouldn't ban
it.
