It might not just be PMS though, while that might be a factor in it, imagine this scenario.

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.

...And? How would that justify her murdering her husband? It doesn't. There are two reasons why there are prisons; one is to punish the criminal, and the second is to keep the public safe. If she is going to murder people due to "PMS", then she is a danger to people, so she should be punished. That's like saying a sociopath should be allowed to walk free because it is his condition that played the main factor in why he decided to kill someone.

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...

I also like how I am the only person you chose to write a diatribe to so far, it would be nice to answer the other people as well.

But you've got me wrong, I believe in punishment for crime, no matter the gender.

I never said it was justifiable, I was simply saying that there are always more than what they seems to be on the surface.

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.

I blame both. I never once said that women have the power to get away with things. I personally believe why women get let off compared to males in the law area of society is due to the goverment allowing them to, not because women are masterminds at getting away with things. But, there are women that fall back on these things knowing they stand a chance of getting away with it.

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.

I think you need to look through female killers and see how much time they get in jail. Most get at least 20 years and quite a lot of them get life sentences handed to 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.

I'm not meaning female serial killers or ones that have killed more than one.
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.

I know what you mean but it's still isolated. It still does not happen that often and if it does, there must be evidence to back up the claim.

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.

Women alone didn't fight for equality, quite a lot of men helped aswell.
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.

All it seems like is that you have a skewed view of women.

We are seperate people, not one entity.
