Moral responsibility
Posted: 05 Oct 2013, 22:26
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:
