I thought surely the headline was exaggerating. It was not.

THE new law of defensive homicide, designed to treat female victims of family violence more compassionately in the justice system, has failed, with young violent men emerging as the key beneficiaries of the 2005 legal reform.

The article cites female-initiated violence, and male self-defense, but still laments that the man was only convicted of defensive homicide, rather than acquitted entirely.

Luke Middendorp was found guilty of defensive homicide for stabbing to death his girlfriend, Jade Bowndes, in 2008.

Middendorp gave evidence that Bowndes came at him with a raised knife and that his life was at risk.

To close out the article, we learn that women should not be held responsible for their own violence.

Anti-violence campaigner Phil Cleary said, "The real problem is we still blame women for the violence."

Misandry in the judicial system, just like I've been saying the whole time. Feminist, liberal-educated activist judges and lawmakers are the problem here.

There are clearly feminist directives and communication channels that are pulling this shit behind the scenes, behind our backs.

Police forces are complicit because pu$$y must be hard to come by as a cop.

So many things wrong with that article, yuck.
