Professor takes a look at violent women
Submitted by anthony on Thu, 2008-11-13 13:14
Story here. Excerpt:
'Laura Sjoberg, a professor of political science, weighed in on her theories of how violent women are treated differently than violent men last night. She took a few minutes to sit down before her lecture to give an overview of her research into the gender gap between men and women in the area of global political violence.
Q: Now what is the most important focal point of your lecture, if you could possibly sum it all up?
A: The focal point for the lecture is that violent women are treated in the media and scholarly accounts as if, first, they don't have any agency in their violence and, second, that violent women are no different from real or "normal" women who are still innocent and peaceful and pure.'

Victim Liberation?
"Agency" is academic jargon for "the ability to make choices." This is important research, because it debunks the victimology dogma that is the dominant theme in feminism.
My main beef with feminism has nothing to do with its false commitment to gender equality.
It is just that if you subscribe to feminist ideas, then you have already defined yourself as an infant.
You can't be a "liberated victim."
Interesting read
With all the studies out there trying to correlate female criminals to abusive childhood, low IQs and insanity we need articles like this to show that all women are capable of any crime for the same reasons as any man.
Notice the anonymous comment at the bottom of the article that questions the validity of the article and makes excuses for women typical of any modern feminist?

I thought the whole point of feminism was that there are no differences between men and women. So why then do feminist spend so much tome trying to prove that there are?
Maybe
Maybe, Eventually, this could lead to the actual facts being widely known since it's a Woman doing the research.
