SJones refutes the idea that women are incapable of violent crime (and the light tone with which the media portrays it) with the following examples from recent news: "An Iranian woman cut off her husband's ear with a knife after he simply asked her why she was late coming home. He reported to police that she becomes extremely angry easily and often beats him up. The story is here.
A gang of armed and dangerous pregnant women in Ecuador went on a crime spree and said they did not care who saw them because sexist Ecuadoran law places pregnant women above the law. After their pregnancy tests came back positive the police were forced to release them all. The story is here.
Two 14 year old girls robbed a bank in New York and their mother drove the getaway car. The story is here.
A South African man died after his wife became angry with him and grabbed him by the testicles, squeezing and causing him unbearable pain from which he passed out and never recovered. The story is here.
A Cambodian woman murdered her husband with repeated axe strikes to the genitals so that she could run away with her son-in-law. The story was, of course, dumped into the Oddly Enough news as if it were nothing but a joke."
