And people have the goddamn gall to argue when I state that our society, and the justice system in particular, heavily favor women. Any guy that did this exact same crime would have gotten 2x the sentence.
Earlier this very week there was that other wacko girl that killed her boyfriend and a friend when she intentionally slammed her SUV into a house at 100 MPH. She murdered 2 people and only got about 15 years in prison.
We put pussy on a pedestal in this society.
Rapist* Brock Allen Turner anyone?
Edited to add important details
You might want to edit that again. The rapist Brock Allen Turner goes by just his middle name now. The rapist Allen Turner has been seen partying in Ohio bars and clubs recently. Stay safe ladies of Ohio.
Done, thank you
It's not that simple. Women get life in jail like anyone else in a lot of cases.
The consistent factor you're missing here is not one of sex, but one of privilege and wealth.
Simply put rich people can afford better lawyers, and in rarer cases are more connected on the inside of the justice system itself.
Have you ever heard of Brock Turner, or maybe Johnny Depp? Good luck getting any women to go near you though.
Besides, these sentences are insane in general and modern first world societies (meaning not the US) do not focus on punishing people like we do. They focus on rehabilitation because it's a service to society, because they actually give a shit about their societies. So the fact that anyone can think that fifteen years of being locked in a cage getting angrier and angrier with no psych help and shit for healthcare "isn't enough," really says something about the people who endorse that.
You aren't wrong. I mean, it's about the only area you get preferential treatment as a woman in the country though....
