Gender Double Standards in Justice Hurt Everyone
Submitted by Nightmist on Tue, 2002-03-12 19:19
My latest column, which will also appear today on Wendy McElroy's ifeminists.com, examines the recent cases of Chante Mallard (who allowed a homeless man to die while trapped in her broken windshield), Andrea Yates (who drowned her five children), and Jaymie Hutchins (who shot an alleged child abuser in the groin). Apparently, the justice systems of the United States consider these women less culpable for their criminal acts than Tommy Davis, an 8-year-old Ann Arbor boy, who pulled a toy gun on three of his peers.
