update...

for those of you who enjoyed/had your blood boiling after reading "bitch?bastard?" about my delightful rapist-loving classmate, guess what: the lengths woman-hating can go have been streeeeeeeetched even further.  

Yesterday, during a (really, really fascinating) lecture on the death penalty, B/B? asked the teacher "why so few women receive the death penalty?"  The teacher explained that statistically, far fewer women enact first degree murders of the type that Texas (which represents at least 1/3 of killings per year) and the other shitty states are willing to convict.  (Note: these states are also way more likely to convict a black person of killing a white one...surprise!)  Anyhow, she? went on to say that she thinks that the reality is that "women are getting off the hook just because they are women" and that "tons" of women kill their children and they don't get executed.  The teacher cautiously mentioned that those child-killing women are mentally ill, and even the U.S. doesn't kill those with extreme/debilitating mental illness.  (on the other hand, almost every person on death row has some mental illness) B/B? seem miffed by this unwillingness to crack down.
