Mary Winkler was just acquitted of murder after admitting to shooting her husband's brains out in his sleep. All you have to do with this defence is claim past abuse. (No evidence of abuse is required nor any explanation as to why divorce wouldn't have worked). In terms of sexual equality,how do apply this to males? Shall we permit them to liquidate their wives in their sleep execution style and then get off with nothing by saying, "oh,well,she was a very abusive lady and gosh to think of all I put up with..." Canadian feminists completely reject this doctrine developed by Lenore Auerbach Walker back in the 70's. Why do we tolerate it? Domestic violence is domestic violence and it is what it is irregardless of the malefacter's gender. American women get off very light also for abusing and even murdering their children. What about this? And look at the media. We've all heard of Laci Peterson but how many of you have heard of Nicole Giovanni? Can any of you tell me who she was?
