Not necessarily, there has to be more to the crime than just the gender of the victim. Only certain classes of offenses are 'legally' classified as hate crimes and these involve racially based crimes and crimes against the LGBT community. Everybody else suffers only "ordinary" offenses, committed against them.
But it depends on the jurisdiction and the motivation of the attacker. The prosecutor would have to prove that the person targeted their victims because of actual hatred of women. Most muggers choose women because they carry purses or are simply convenient targets.
