I love the discrimination in the US legal system.

Man commits murder = 25 years to life or the death penalty; Woman commits murder = 10 to 30 years (depending on how good her attorney is in arguing she was a battered woman / victim of sexual assault at a young age)

Male teacher has sexual relations with a student = automatic 15 to 20 years; Female teacher has sexual relations with a student = oh boys dream of that stuff at that age. Lets slap her hand with 5 years and call it even.

Husband snoops on wife email = 5 years; Wife snoops on husband email = She is just making sure he isn't visiting any content that could hurt the children. Case gets tossed by a judge.

I couldn't be more sarcastic, but the examples I listed above I have seen in reality especially considering murder with all the ludicrous "Oh I was a battered woman...the HORROR!" nonsense and female teachers getting off easy compared to male teachers when they get curious like Curious George.

If the sexes are equal, then the punishment for the crime should be equal. Either that, or every man up for murder should argue he was molested by a Catholic priest. This would put men almost even on the "I'm a battered woman" argument scale for mitigating factors.

You speak the truth sir!
