Does 'Victim Status' justify crime?

CJ writes " A woman bites off her boyfriend's tongue and perhaps swallows it because he squeezed her a bit too tight while kissing. The AP news story granted her "victim status" on her account alone, which as usual is an odd twist of logic aimed at justifying violent female behavior based upon her previous experience with men. Media’s constant justification of violent female behavior seems to be the norm today and it softens the impact of violent female behavior, and denigrates men in the process. This was another "odds and ends" new item."
