The Michigan Women’s Justice & Clemency Project
We’ve seen this particular claim made a number of times now. It’s the worst kind of claim because it’s technically true, yet utterly misleading. In short, it’s bad statistics (much like what happens with the wage gap) where it’s presumed that the actions being taken by each party are equal and that there aren’t gender differentials.
As far as we can tell, the difference is that while both men and women do kill their partners, when they do it’s for notably different reasons and in notably different ways. When men kill their wives it’s normally what’s termed a “crime of passion” motivated by anger or rage. This normally leads to a charge of second-degree murder, because the crime lacks the premeditation element that characterizes first-degree murder. Women who kill their husbands, on the other hand, are more likely to exercise premeditation, which leads to the much more severe charge of first-degree murder. Even in cases where the charges don’t differ the circumstances often still do in a similar way, just to a lesser degree.
Basically, we as a society acknowledge that there’s a difference between someone who comes home, finds their partner in bed with someone else and clocks them with a lamp and someone who decides to kill their partner, goes out, buys a gun, walks up to them while they’re sleeping and empties a magazine into their head. Men’s actions are more likely to look like the former, women’s the latter, and we as a society consider the latter to be far more severe.
Ironically, the two cases cited are utterly perfect examples. Kenneth Peacock was sentenced to 18 months in jail after he came home unexpectedly, found his wife in bed with another man and shot her. Patricia Ann Hawkins, on the other hand, was sentenced to 36 24 (see below) months in jail, for….soaking her sleeping husband with lighter fluid and then setting him on fire. Anyone with a brain can see a considerable difference.
It’s actually worse than that, though. Peacock was actually sentenced to 36 months himself, 18 of which were suspended. Of course, the page neglects to mention that part. Secondly, Hawkins was not sentenced to 36 months, but rather to 24 months, only six months longer than Peacock. It appears that “The Michigan Women’s Justice & Clemency Project” is not competent enough to do a basic Google search, with which they would have realized that the 36 month figure originated as an editorial error in the Baltimore Sun. They posted a retraction the next day.
Hawkins was originally charged with (surprise, surprise) first-degree murder (to which she responded with the a plea of “not guilty by reason of insanity”), but the case was resolved with a plea bargain in which she plead guilty to both manslaughter and arson. In review: Hawkins was charged with a more severe crime as a result of premeditation, and committed two crimes (murder/manslaughter and arson) instead of one.
When we divide things back down into the categories of murder (first-degree, second-degree, sometimes third degree, and manslaughter even though it’s not technically murder), that “gap” disappears.

Dear Hetalia Fandom,
If we played Sburb we’d prototype you guys in our sprites so you’d survive.

Liv just shot me a text from the bus on her way to work. She saw a man on the bus with his baby daughter get interrogated by a woman who suspected him of being a pedophile. Ill post the texts Liv sent me
Basically he got on the bus downtown and first of all no one got up to fix the bus seat then the bitch across the aisle moved over at first I thought they were a couple until he started laughing.
I turned my music down to listen and she was asking him to see some sort of proof that it was his kid and he started freaking out asking who the fuck she was to ask that and he showed her a picture on his phone that I assume was a picture of him with the baby or something.
Then she started being like, “well where is her mother?” “It’s weird to see a dad with a little girl like this.” She’s only a year and a half old at best, “where’s her mom?” And the guy got up, took the breaks off the stroller and pulled the cord and was like, “for your information her mom’s a crack whore living on the street. I’m all she has. I’m sorry you think it’s weird to see a man with a baby, but not all women were meant to be moms, I don’t have to put up with your shit this is fucking ridiculous. This girl is my life and world go fuck yourself!” Then he got off the bus.
Then she sat there shaking her head and being like ”men can’t parent, why’d he freak out WTF I bet that kid isn’t even his”
I wish sexist, stupid bitches like this were less common than they are.

Complete insanity
This is exactly why so many grown men are paranoid about being around children; false allegations and the presumption of male guilt. One crazy misandrist gets her panties in a bunch and there is a police car waiting for you.
Imagine that the guy is an honest and decent guy just helping out a single mother by looking after her kid. Wait, right there did you think to yourself, “well he could do something wrong. He could be a pedo.” That. That right there the presumption that’s what it’s all about. He could, so we should assume the worst, and act as if he is.
Imagine for a second that the guy is absolutely a saint and has never done anything wrong. The child is not his, he’s just a trusted friend. Now how the hell is he supposed to explain things to a misandrist like that lady on the bus? He can’t. He is presumed guilty and he will be talking to police very shortly and he will very likely end up handcuffed in the back of a police car, scared to death that things will get straighted out.
Millions of men live in fear of being around children even there own because of shit like this. How can men be equal partners in raising children when they can’t be around children without some misandrist freaking out?
I personally know men who have had to push younger relatives out of their lives because it just to risky to be around children without constantly having to have a witness. It only takes one person to make a comment and suddenly the guy has to prove in a court of law, that beyond the shadow of a doubt that absolutely nothing happened and its all because of this automatic assumption of a man’s guilt.
There are a hell of a lot better ways to protect children from predators than automatically assuming that every man is a pedo. Prejudice is never justifiable.

flowers from people who like the update
i have gone through it all and got out the other side and i have to say its pretty bad. i know i dont sound that affected but this is seriously some stuff that would sicken any normal person. some people literally just looked up whatever twisted things they could find and pasted it on the tag as some fucked up way to get back at the tumblr staff. please do not go there if youre not ready for what you find.
…anyway. if youre wondering what else in there, its nothing you dont expect. people getting angry at tumblr because of the update.

Did you know on average the human body needs 8 positive touches a day to survive? This includes: hand shakes, a hand on the shoulder, a hug, a kiss. etc. So you people saying, people that are depressed are just upset because they don’t get attention, in a way, you’re right, when your body lacks positive touches it can stunt your growth and effect your mental and emotional development. Give a hug.
how have i not degenerated into insanity by now? i barely receive physical contact.

Bad Little Boy Song 「x」
Marshall: Follow my lead
Fionna: Hey!
Marshall: Good little girl, always picking a fight with me. You know that I’m bad, but you’re spending the night with me. Why do you run from my world? You’re a good little girl.
Fionna: Bad little boy, that’s what you’re acting like. I really don’t buy that you’re that kind of guy. And if you are… why do you want to hang out with me?
Marshall Lee: -hisses and chuckles-
Marshall Lee: -speaks- Don’t you know I’m a villain? Every night I’m out killin’, sendin’ everyone runnin’ like children. I know why you’re mad at me. I’ve got demon eyes and they’re lookin’ right through your anatomy, into your deepest fears. Baby, I’m not from here. I’m from the Nightosphere. To me you’re clear, transparent. You’ve got a thing for me girl. It’s apparent.
