I agree with lucky that equal rights=equal responsibility…

I don’t know that men do 10X the time for the same crime, I would need some facts or a reference to that effect, but men commit violent crimes much more than women do. That is a fact.

If you want to complain about the criminal justice system being sexist, think about the women that were being violently abused by their male partners and ended up killing them in true SELF DEFENSE (I’m not talking the “I shot him while he was sleeping” c**p, but the “he was coming at me with a knife and I shot him”) and ended up in prison for life. Fair. No.

Men kill their children too. Sometimes they r**e them as well. We are just shocked more when women do it and society tends to search for answers because women are supposed to be nurturing and protective of their children. Besides, they went through the trouble of carrying them in their womb, giving birth and raising them. There is (usually) a very strong bond as a result. We can’t seem to understand why they would do something like this. Men are more distant from the process and, as I said before, are violent more often than women. We (society) can make sense of this a little easier. That is why there is this perceived “double standard”. That’s all. Chill out.

You guys have had the upper hand in this country since day 1, so I can understand why you feel like you have to defend that upper hand since we have started to level the playing field. Calm down, we aren’t trying to take over. You know we will never be able to. You will always be at least slightly “superior”….so don’t lose sleep over it.

woman commits crime = mans fault for driving her to it…….

today’s modern man is to moronic to understand this simple concept:

Equal rights = Equal responsiblity

As it turns out he did the deed but as it turns out also she ain’t pregnant. I’ll just bet she knew that she wasn’t pregnant but this righteous religious hypocrite saw the ‘deep pocket’ and what the hell, sins can be forgiven so what’s a little ha ha ‘white’ lie. The tv show didn’t even hint of that being a possibility and there was no sympathy for ‘a crime of passion’ like there probably would be for a woman especially with anything involving kids. All I can say is this is one screwed-up double standard society.

Why? The mainstream media’s audience, the people the ads are aimed at, are middle-class women.

When that crazy mom in Texas, Andrea Yates, drowned all her children, female media commentators talked themselves hoarse about how understandable it was that a mom with five kids could just “snap,” and how “we’ve all come close,” etc. She commits mass murder, and because she is a surrogate for the television audience, she pretty much gets a pass. But when a black man (or for that matter any man) commits heinous crimes, all the talk is about tougher penalties.

So a woman who kills is “just like you and me,” but a man who kills is an animal who should be put down.

It all goes back to who’s spending the money that rewards the advertisers that support the media outlets: middle-class women.
