Only Men Commit Violence of Course
C’mon everybody, show you’re against violence by men against women. Women of course never commit violence and news media should be ashamed of themselves for inventing stories such as the following recent ones:
Gunfire forces brief lockdown at U.S. Capitol in Washington
White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite ‘smeared face in blood to flee Nairobi terror mall’
Mum who attacked neighbours while on drugs is jailed
(This was a rare case in which a woman received a moderate jail sentence, though still probably considerably less than a male would have received especially since she had previous convictions and her current crimes included breaching a previous sentence as well as shoplifting. Note also that the headline refers to a “mum who attacked neighbours”. When do we ever hear a male offender referred to as a “dad” when parental role was irrelevant to the offences? And note also how the judge and other parties minimized her personal culpability by implying that alcohol and drugs were the only thing that made her into a bad person, and even suggesting she would be a good mother if it were not for alcohol and drugs.)
Nun accused of breaking girl’s arm
(And check out the pussy pass in this one, folks! She had to undertake counselling, plus a bit of community work. Counselling for nun who broke girl’s arm)
Shopkeeper punched as she fights back during robbery
Woman who attacked sister has sentence reduced
(Yes, she also received an unusually serious sentence for a female whereas the pussy pass is evident in most cases of female offending. Keep in mind though that women’s prisons provide more comfortable conditions and treatment than do men’s prisons.)
Woman bit top off another woman’s little finger, court told
(But why wasn’t the ‘victim’ woman also charged with assault? She was the first to become violent and pinned the ‘offender’ to the ground before the ‘offender’s’ biting began presumably in self-defence.)
Teacher forced out of job after claims she twisted child’s fingers
(But this female teacher, instead of having police and CYFS investigate the initial allegation that she physically abused a child, is awarded $10,000 compensation for ‘hurt and distress’. Yep).
Drunk first-class passenger gets flight diverted
‘Threatening’ woman admits trespass charge
(Note how the headline places the word ‘threatening’ in quotes, doubting that a woman could really ever be threatening.)
Two arrests after pair robbed of their bags
(Note that this female and her male companion both assaulted and robbed a couple. But only the male was remanded in custody while the woman was released on bail. We have often seen that pattern but we have NEVER seen the gender favouritism applied in the opposite direction in such cases.)
And here’s a final interesting one for the record though not involving violence exactly. When a young woman engages in sexual activity with an underaged minor, ‘civil and gay rights groups’ (read ‘feminist groups’) get up in arms demanding that she be released and the charges be dropped. They make the ridiculous claim that such behaviour occurs frequently at schools between older and younger teenagers without resulting in criminal charges. Yeah right. If an 18yo male has sex with a female who is 4 years below the age of consent (in the US jurisdiction) he would never be charged with a sexual offence, be made to undergo a sex offenders’ programme or be placed on the sex offenders register, now would he? And of course his offences would be affectionately described as ‘having sex with his underaged girlfriend’ just as this woman’s offences were. A male in similar circumstances would never have his behaviour described as sexual violation, rape or exploitation of a young person unable emotionally or legally to give consent, now would he?)
