One thing I've never understood about people against pre-determined worlds:
They say "If everything is pre-determined, then we can't fault anyone for anything and we should therefore excuse them and feel bad for them."
Well I say... "If everything is pre-determined, you can't fault me for hating the man who did that. I can't 'choose' to feel guilty and pardon him of his crimes."
Anyways, back on topic. I feel that people see the situation like this: A man does something terribly evil to a helpless woman. After years of torment, she saves herself and kills him in the process."
You could argue that "A man had a terrible upbringing and as a result did what he had to do to feel control and "save" his life, which resulted in severe pain for a woman. That woman had a terrible experience and as a result killed him to bring back control to her life and save herself."
Making their situations seem very similar. In this case, however, I'd side with the woman. It's much more acceptable to take revenge out on those who have wronged you than to spread that wronging to more innocent people.
