N.O.W. Anticipates Gender Hate-Crime Law

... indeedy!

A gender based hate law would certainly ignore violence against men when perpetuated by a female. Get ready for another RADAR type initiative if this bill is passed. I really feel bad for MS. Gandy, no boys were killed during this tragic incident. The N.O.W. claims they are fighting for the rights of women and children. Gandy is being politically correct when she says "children". She really only cares about girls.

"As much as we enjoy -- and quite frankly deserve -- a good celebration, it's not too soon to ask: What next?"

It will always be "whats next" because feminists will not rest until women recieve some kind of perceived utopia. I really don't know what a feminist's perfect society would look like, but it wouldn't be pretty. Maybe a 300 foot statue of a tampon next to the lincoln memorial? Gandy will never concede the fact that women have gained equality, it would make her organization useless.

I usually don't vote for Republicans, but it would be better if one side of Congress were Republican, to balance the feminist nuts (somewhat). Any how I didn't put these crazy Democrat women where they are now..Ha ha..I protested by not voting:)

Seriously though, making 'gender-based killing' a hate crime doesn't even make sense, logically. For one thing, are they saying the girls were singled out BECAUSE they are girls? What if the killer had been a woman? If a mother drowns 3 sons, is that a hate crime? What about a man who hates boys and kills a couple of them? Some mass killers are simply opportunists.
This fucked up NOW lady knows that since virtually all violent mass-murderers are men, she can single them out for extra punishment.

You know, I am getting so sick of the whole thing, I hardly even feel like getting up in the morning. Do any of you guys have the experience, where when you go out by yourself, women look dirty at you, and there is a general air of suspicion surrounding a solitary male? Even sometimes when I go shopping, I get the feeling I am being watched "in case I am a shoplifter". One time I sat at a table at Dunkin Donuts, and these two women at the next table look dirty at me and immediately get up and leave..they weren't even done eating. All I did was sit down!!

How do you expect to change things when you won't put in the effort to cause the change?

The only way to change things was obviously to vote Democrat, which I didn't want to do since that party is especially pro-feminist. That's a good quote about the boxes though.

This is not true at all, merely a perception. You perceive that most violent serial killers are male because you subscribe to feminist definitions of violence and so does the rest of society.

Women do not use the same methods as men usually, but are still very violent. Since we as a society do not look for female violence, most of the time female serial killers simply go completely unpunished. No arrest, no publicity, no awareness, does not mean it is an uncommon occurrence.

Plus, when we do catch females, we do not label them serial killers. Even when a woman has killed several husbands or lovers she usually only gets charged for one and not labeled a serial killer. Even when Andrea Yates murders 5 children she did not once in any media report get labeled a serial killer. Even when a woman nurse has poisoned possibly hundreds of patients she would likely only be charged in one death.

I do not know the statistics because they are simply not kept. There is no one out there looking for female serial killers and keeping track of their frequency and methods.

How can we expect to be able to draw conclusions that most violent serial killers are male when we refuse as a society to even acknowledge female violence as being every bit as real and devastating as male violence?

Heck, by a generation from now, with so many young girls these days acting out in traditionally male violent ways it could be the case that most violent killers are female.

However, I'm not sure how hard we would have to 'look' for female serial killers..I suspect it would show up in the news - even though the media is influenced by feminists, they still like big-time news stories, which certainly a female serial killer would be.
I agree that female violence as a whole is at least as bad as male violence..you make a valid point, Paragon.
But as you say, it is society's PERCEPTION that most violent killers are men..and that perception is exactly what the NOW leaders are taking advantage of, when they propose legislation such as this.

And carries severe penalties.
Isn't that enough?

and in the case of drownings and poisonings the police only pick up on it if the coroner does or if the body washed up on the beach.

Dead bodies are NOT automatically screened for toxins during otopsies. There usually has to be a suspicion prior to the otopsie for the doctor to do a tox-screen. I personally believe it would come as a HUGE shock to the world if a law was passed to screen all bodies for common poisons when they discover that many of the men who died of "natural causes" really were poisoned because their wives only wanted the life insurance money and saw no further use for them. Of course that would still not catch things like insulin which can cause heart failure in high doses but breaks down in a body within hours.

But, most females who choose more discrete methods simply go completely unnoticed. And you'll never hear me call women stupid because when they want to get away with something they come up with the most ingenious ways to do it discretely.

Even when they are caught, the police report it differently and the media sometimes will put a different spin on it then the police but usually they tow the line.

Heck, those two old grannies that we talked about on here who ran over the three homeless men for their life insurance money were not labeled serial killers in any of the coverage I read of that. Now you might say three is not allot, but it still counts as a killing spree to me.

Or that meth-head girl from Las Vegas who claimed the guy she got convicted of killing was not killed by her because she accidentally told the police about a DIFFERENT man that she disfigured and left for dead. She's likely a serial killer as she most likely killed at least two men in a horrific way. But again, half the people commenting on the general media coverage of her re-trail believed her innocent.

We are just not programmed to look at female violence (even when it is blatant and brutal) the same way we view male violence. We don't see what we don't want to see, and as a society the absolute last thing we want to see is that women cause as much pain, suffering, and misery in this world as men do and that treating only males as the cause of the problems in the world only ensures there will never be any real solutions.

So true. Around the time of the tragedy in Pennsylvania in which the deranged man shot the little girls in the Amish school house, I remember reading a short article from a Texas newspaper about a woman (a former nurse) who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering 10 patients. Around that time there was also a woman in Missouri charged, I believe, with murdering a pregnant woman and her small children. These cases didn't seem to get the critical attention that the Amish shooting tragedy received. (To some extent that's understandable, since the shootings were very sudden, dramatic and brutal acts committed against children.) But then a nurse who murders patients is committing a brutal act against vulnerable and defenseless people.

It seems like every month I read about a woman who is charged with murdering her child (or children) and who pleads not guilty by reason of insanity. The article is often written in such a way as to engender some degree of sympathy for the child-killing woman. If a man is involved, such as a boyfriend, father or stepfather, he is not treated as leniently, either by the media or the criminal justice system.

I don't trust our justice system to be objective, fair or just when it comes to investigating and prosecuting crimes committed by women or girls. And I certainly don't trust the media to be fair in its reporting.
