This is a rather shocking crime.
"A 12-year-old girl was beaten into a coma by a group of other girls and women after she kissed the boyfriend of another girl on a dare, police said.
Three adult women and two teenage girls have been charged in the beating of Nicole Townes, who remained in a coma Wednesday more than a week after the attack..."
It's very clear what went on. The women and girls who assaulted the child were pushed over the edge of sanity by nothing other than patriarchal oppression.
Can you really blame them?
In fact, they were the real victims!
And where was this sinister 'boyfriend', hmm? Isn't he the main cause of this?
In fact, he ought to be the one in jail! Isn't that typical? The boy causes all these problems and yet it was the innocent women who got arrested!
To get serious for a second, though: the view that mothers can assault, abuse and kill their own children is increasingly becoming legitimized in English-speaking society.
Women commit almost all the murders of newborns, in fact. There was a study done in Dade County, Florida (noted in the June 1990 edition of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence) which said that between 1956 and 1986, mothers accounted for 86% of all newborn murders in that 30-year period. And there could have other instances of infanticide which were not recognized by the chivalrous police as well...
In the book When She Was Bad by Patricia Pearson, we learn that by the end of the 1980s, the U.S. nation-wide rate of infant-killing had increased to the point where "...it was several times the rate at which adult women were murdered."
In other words, people in general are less likely to kill adult women than adult women are likely to kill an infant(!) Disgraceful!
Obviously, killing an infant is an entirely unprovoked crime. A woman can't claim it was done in self-defense, can she? So this brings-up an uncomfortable question: if some women are capable of killing infants, are other women not capable of killing their husbands or boyfriends in an unprovoked fashion as well?
Does that idea not undermine the feminist contention that women will usually only kill in self-defense? My, that's something to think about, isn't it.
Yes, when a woman kills an infant, it is obviously unprovoked. But handily, there are quite a few disorders which help us understand how the mother is the real victim in situations where her baby winds-up dead. These include: Postpartum Depression, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome and (my favorite) Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in which the baby seems to inexplicably die in the middle of the night for no reason, but the death can sometimes be indistinguishable from pillow-smothering in an autopsy. Yessir, mighty convenient...
In fact, if Slobodan Milosovic and Franjo Tudjman had been women, I'm sure there would be a convenient 'disorder' that would've perfectly explained how they were the main victims of the Balkan Wars.
Regardless, tthe established pattern is: When women kill, we focus on the reasons and are urged to have sympathy. When men kill, we focus on the crime and are urged to punish the bastard.
This crime is pretty sickening too. Yikes. "A woman kept her quadriplegic younger brother in a filthy room and deprived him of food and water until he starved to death, police said." Now that might look bad, but I'm sure that was totally in self-defense.
The starving, emaciated, blind and quadriplegic young man attacked that helpless damsel and she simply had no choice but to slowly kill her attacker over a period of weeks and months...
