Moral responsibility

[Gullscorer]

We see it far too often these days, when a woman commits a criminal evil act, or even some minor misdemeanour which results in her appearing in court. People immediately rush to make excuses for her: she was vulnerable or confused, depressed or mentally ill or under stress; or she was under the influence of her husband/partner/boyfriend, or her hormones. She is hardly ever expected to take moral responsibility for her actions. And women really shouldn't be in jail..

But if a man commits the same evil deeds, no such excuses apply. Feminist double standards ensure that the book is thrown at him and he would probably receive a jail sentence where a woman in the same situation would be given community service or counselling. Happens more and more. A woman is really innocent even when she's guilty, while a man can be guilty as a result of a mere accusation unless he proves his innocence, and even then he's really guilty.

A woman with a young child in her car recently attempted to breach a White House checkpoint on Thursday, prompting a high-speed chase through the security-heavy streets of Washington that ended near the US Capitol when police shot her dead. She might well have had a bomb in her car. Instead, there was a baby. And so she receives sympathy from the media. And the media of course criticises the police.

This guy talks about it, and what he says has relevance worldwide:

In fairness, the media are being fairly critical of the police in the Mark Duggan affair. That and Yanks do shoot first and not bother asking questions. Sure she MIGHT have had a bomb, but then, if the driver had been a guy, shooting him dead would have still been wrong.

Agreed, Matt. The man in the video does seem inured to the trigger-happy US gun culture. As you indicate, the UK media are rightly critical of the police in rare cases such as the Mark Duggan one, whilst bearing in mind the difficult work our police are called upon to do.

But the main point here was really about the US media focussing on the fact that the driver was a woman and going on to apply gender-related double standards. The video is asking, why does the media (and feminism) always try to absolve women of all moral responsibility?

Feminism's double standards proudly proclaim their achievements in making women strong and empowered, whilst always presenting them as weak, vulnerable, and in need of protection. And feminism always demonises men, all men, as the source of all the world's evils, conveniently ignoring the true statistics referred to in the video, which confirm women as being the main perpetrators of child abuse and child kidnapping, and women initiating the majority of cases of domestic abuse.

Unfortunately, society has been brainwashed into ignoring such inconvenient truths. It is a 'truth' universally acknowledged, that all men are perpetrators and all women are victims... In reality, just another big and extreme feminist lie...!!

The plot thickens! Eyewitness claims that police pulled the baby from the car, and then shot the driver dead:

Yep, the police actually had the time to get the child out of the car and then executed this woman, who had no weapon...
