[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 322658, member: 57984"] Far from being eternally-oppressed. the argument has in fact been made that we [B][I]so[/I][/B] over-humanize women that that requires the dehumanization of men, children or even other women who are victimized by a woman. That the culture tends to project the worst of the dark side of men onto [B]all[/B] men, and project the most noble of female behavior onto [B]all[/B] women --- as if we're one vast sea of Mother Theresas (if you'd just stop raping us!) and Ted Bundys (with privilege)... So even when women kill, it's warped into an act of righteousness and/or a reaction to patriarchy (and that's apparently nothing new). And that we're so busy trying to do that that real female victims are shoved aside in consideration of female perpetrators. So someone feels more of an ego-association with the criminals within their ranks than with the innocents. There was a case fairly recently where one (or was it two?) female pimps who'd been 'renting' out 9 year old girls to their customers were given shockingly lenient sentences by the male judge who said in his ruling that, essentially, he was confident in the pimps' innate goodness as women, explaining that their crimes against small girls couldn't really reflect on who they really are deep down (with little thought given to the welfare of those girls).... And then there was the case of the woman who videotaped her own molestation of her 1-year old baby (I can't recall the gender) and sold it online -- the male customers were harshly punished (and rightly so) but her lawyers argued for the application of the rape-shield-law to protect his client's anonymity (a law intended to protect victims, not whomever the woman is in the scenario) and the male judge [B]agreed[/B]. That was only stopped when her outraged in-laws raised a ruckus over it. So the standards are weird at best.
