Canadian "Justice": Nearly identical crimes, man gets 3 life sentences and a woman will be released in 15 months from now.

I read the CBC story and came here to post it.

Also worth mentioning that she is serving her sentence in a psychiatric facility. Because when a man murders, it because he is a bad person, but when a woman does it it is because she is 'sick' and is actually also a victim.

Bullshit. That woman is a monster for murdering her own children and deserves to rot in a jail cell for the rest of time.

It's different; the patriarchy made her do it.

Just wanted to add that while she was sentenced to 6 years, 15 months is minus time served and with a double time credit.

From the woman's case:

But the defence said McConnell's mind was so clouded by alcohol, sleeping pills and severe depression that she could not have formed the intent required to convict her of second-degree murder.

That's one important factor that wasn't at play in the man's case. It caused them to lower the charge from second-degree murder to manslaughter. The cases are therefore not nearly identical.

It's stories like these that make me angry. Why is it that women are portrayed so innocently and incapable of taking responsibility for their actions? And on the flip side they demand disproportionate entitlements. I can see how this can be insulting to both men and women. Is it so insane to propose equal prison sentencing. And male prisons have lower standards than female prisons.

You can't really pigeon-hole this to "Canadian Justice", as the same BS happens here in the U.S.

Stop discrimination, stop the patriarchy, NOW!

Census data shows that women who commit serious crimes earn, on average 15 months for every 25 years a man earn for performing the same crime.

Mmmm - isn't post natal depression an actual thing?
