Even after cleared by the grand jury, self defense still referred to as a 'beating' even as man expresses shock no one came to his aid.

I know I'm late to the story but I just saw it for the first time. Since other people might be catching up as well, here is the original article with attached video.

Darbeau pleaded guilty Wednesday and is expected to get five years probation in October when she is sentenced. Edwards also pleaded guilty and will get 10 days of community service. - NY Daily News

This sentencing discrepancy is also extremely interesting. These women were in a relationship at the time. Both share race, share sex, had the same lawyer, and were arrested on the same charges but the more masculine appearing woman receives a significantly harsher sentence; five years probation compared to ten days community service. This is a crystal clear example of how masculinity itself is seen as inherently threatening.

That video was hilarious. The woman screaming, "STOP!!!" made me belly laugh.
