@J_TAPES we tend to overly punish women who kill their rapists, abusers, traffickers, etc. b/c they kill men. & heaven forbid, a woman should kill a man in self defense. esp. if she's a woman of colour killing a white man. then lord luv a duck, we're throwing the book at her.

i think it's b/c secretly most of the men in the legal system are afraid that not being hard on these women & creating examples of them, might mean open season on these men. b/c they know what they've done. imho.
