How long are we to endure this ridiculous double standard in our criminal justice system? Here’s a violent woman who seriously injured two other women after punching a man. She wan’t even charged for hitting the man! If a man had hit a woman in exactly the same circumstances he would certainly have been charged with the sexist ‘male assaults female’ offence for which the imprisonment tariff is double that for a female offender. But even that’s not enough pro-female discrimination for police who didn’t even bother charging this woman at all for assaulting a man.

And for her serious, sustained, completely unjustified violence that has caused two victims enduring, possibly permanent physical and mental injury? This fat bully gets 9 months home detention, some community work and a pittance of restitution to the victims!

Somewhat typical for women, this female offender did not take responsibility for her violence, minimizing her culpability and even claiming she wasn’t a violent person. Any man like that could expect no mercy. Here though the judge made the remarkable statement:

“For a woman of 22 [to be sent to prison] would be a life-changing event. The chances of you recovering your life would be minimal in my view”

WHAT THE FUCK?! Tell that to the thousands of young men sent to prison each year for much less! And the prisons the males get sent to are much less comfortable and caring than any female prison.

Men are being imprisoned for years for such offences as failing to get ‘consent’ signed in triplicate, for minor indecent touching decades ago and even for breaching CENSORSHIP laws. Sure, it’s appropriate to punish men when they break the law but where’s the proportionality and gender equality here?

And notice how the news article begins the story by referring to the offender as “Young mum…”. She’s not particularly young, and when do we see violent male offenders defined on the basis of their parenthood status?
