Why is it that women are excused from balme due to saying I was "PMSing"? Some women have even got away with murder just for that reason, and far more have got away with abusing people for the same reason. I think this is disgusting. If they are allowed to blame their crimes on PMS, then the same argument could be made for male rapists and sex offenders, right? A man could blame his actions on the male natural higher testosterone due to it making a man have a high sex drive.
If women can get away with murder with the excuse of PMS, then a man should get away with rape for the excuse of higher testosterone.
Now, I'm not saying any of this should happen, quite the opposite. What I'm saying here is that why should females get away with their crimes for such an excuse, but men can't? I think regardless of "PMS" the woman should be punished for her crimes, just like a man would for his.
What do you think? IIN?

During a psychology class I took last fall, I learned that men actually have MORE of a "PMS" mood fluctuation than women do month to month. After learning that, I think you might have a point.
Quite obviously I was a lot more hormonal this month.
That's not true.
In order to claim "pms" as a valid defense a woman has to provide detailed medical history to back up the claim. And I don't just mean "i had cramps" kind of history but real issues that are tied to her hormones
A woman who had a history of abuse to begin with is sick of her husband lounging around all day, spending all the money on alcohol and having affairs, treating her no better than a personal ATM machine. One day, the husband is caught sleeping with her best friend and the woman, who happens to be close to her menstruation, snaps and lashes out, killing her husband.
You can see that while PMS was a factor, there were many underlying factors. I'm not saying this proves or disproves anything but you've got to imagine or look at all facets of what may have happened.
Also the only reason I made the husband like that was because it wouldn't work if he was nice, obviously.
It's comparable to say "I killed my husband because I was "PMSing", he was an asshole, which is one of the factors played in me murdering him" and "I raped a woman because I have high testerone due to being a male. Besides, she was flirting and wearing sexy clothing, which played a few of the factors in which why I raped her". They're comparable, yet one is seen as not an excuse, where as the other is...
But you've got me wrong, I believe in punishment for crime, no matter the gender.
That can apply to men as well as women, most people who kill have some form of a bad past, of course, there are exceptions in everything.
And well, I'm sorry this bothers you but it's not like it happens ALL the time. Plenty of women have been jailed for their crimes and will continue to be jailed.
Kristen Gilbert, Aileen Wuornos, Myra Hindley, Karla Homolka, Rose West and so on and so forth all ended up in prison for what they did.
Really though, instead of blaming the women for grasping at excuses, why not direct your hatred at the jury and the judge for allowing them to walk free or get a lenient sentence?
It's not like men don't attempt to use excuses that you just illustrated to get out of trouble, so both sexes are guilty of using such tactics to get out of trouble.
Blame the judge, not women.
Not to mention, when ever a woman kills a man, alot of them (maybe most) get about three years jail time, where as if a male murders, he gets fifteen.
I blame women for trying to get away with murder by such reasons, and I blame judges for letting them.
Men fall back on excuses as well, you can't blame one sex for trying to use excuses while males do as well. Unfortunately, your messages do seem to me, to have a lot of hatred towards women, even if it's not expressed blatantly.
Here is a link to someone talking about it.

Yes, men do, but they barely ever, if at all, get those excuses to get them away with murder with three years jail time.
I don't hate women, I just hate that they are allowed to do things and get less harsher punishment for them. I hate society the most for allowing this to happen, and I hate when women realize they stand a chance by making excuses that society will let her off for.
I don't hate women, I hate how they are allowed to do things and get away with things differently.
And it's ironic you hate how we do things and get away with them differently, when women did actually push for equality of the sexes.
But once more, it's not the woman's fault, anyone regardless of gender would grasp at excuses to get away with something, it's on the judge for being stupid enough to believe it.
You hate too much about this, society is rotten but when life gives you rotten apples, make bad cider from them.
Today's equality to women such as feminists is more like special treatment. They will speak about how unfair it is for a woman to not have the positives of being a woman, but when someone says you have to get the negative sides of men if you want the possitives, then they're "women haters", "sexists".
I don't think the judge is being stupid to believe it, I think that it's just the way the goverment willingly goes. Like I said before; I don't think it's because women are masterminds at getting away with things, I think society is purposly giving a gentle hand on women in areas of society, where as men get the full fist.
Well, nobody has problems with women fighting for their gender, yet a man gets told he's just being hateful when he does it for his gender. It's a double standard, and no matter what anyone calls it, aslong as there are women pushing for what men have, I will be one of the men telling them that they don't get half of what men have, they get all of what men have, negatives included, also that men get the benefits and negatives that women have.
We are seperate people, not one entity.
Just so you know, married men also have PMS, Post MasterCard syndrome.
If they have PMS to a degree in which their hormones fluctuate so much that no reasonable human being can expect to act rationally during such fluctuations, than it is a valid defense. That's an insanity plea.
On the flip side, the same can be said throughout the genders. Why can't men be excused for fluctuations in testosterone hindering their functioning? I've only ever heard of one case in which anything near that occurred, Harvey Milk's killer used something like that defense.
Get a defense attorney, a good enough case (victim is known to be a drunk... why not violent as well?) an idiotic jury and a nonchalant prosecutor and this is what happens, sorry to say.
The insanity defense is almost impossible to get, it's simply if you know right from wrong. Jeffrey Dahmer was found sane! Another killer later remarked "if he dosn't fit the definition of insanity i'd hate like hell to run into the guy that does!" PMS isn't SHIT!
