Cultural 'bias' keeps women off death row

	A.J. writes "In this article Jim Walsh at the Arizona Republic removes a few threads from the lace curtain. He proposes that women are less likely than men to get the death penalty in capital offenses due to cultural reasons. A quote from the article: "In the minds of the jury and the judge, they don't believe women deserve the death penalty." The author can be contacted at: jim.walsh@arizonarepublic.com.

Well, there you are..., (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 01:38 PM November 29th, 2004 EST (#1) ...that's equality for ya.(sarcasm) It's interesting that feminists screech about "equality" this and "equality" that in every instance but ones like this. They aren't calling for equality in the draft. They LIKE it the way it is. And they don't call for equality in the courts, it's in THEIR favor, and they SURE as hell don't call for equality in the case of the death penalty. Does any one else detect the pungent odor of HYPOCRICY on the part of feminists and like-minded women?   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!"

They don't want equality of obligation or accountability. They want special treatment -- whether it's quotas in college athletics, protection from conscription or preferential treatment in the legal system. To me, feminism seems more and more to be about the promotion of female privilege.
