A girl beats her cheating boyfriend, it gets praised by society. So if a man caught his girlfriend sleeping with another guy and beat her, it's frowned upon.
I don't think anyone's praising this?? You shouldn't hurt anyone like this, ever?? But it's probably a more accepted standard because people assume that women are less strong than men (which is usually true), and they think that a woman can't really hurt a man as badly as the opposite. If a man attacked a woman with a golf club, you'd assume she's seriously injured or even dead, but when this happens, all you think is that maybe he's in the hospital, with like a broken arm or something.
...you can push someone down the stairs and kill them- give her 60 seconds with a golf club and him in the same room I think she could still have him down fairly quickly
But..there's no double standard. It's her MUGSHOT she is being punished as well she should, if she was smiling because she got away with it, then that would be a double standard. I've seen men smile in their mugshots before *cough* bieber *cough*
Hmm, well I don't know many of my friends that would, my family certainly wouldn't, but I suppose the tweet does suggest that unfortunately you're at least partially correct. I still think it's not such a double standard as other commenters have made it out to be, at least she'll be off the streets (I hope!)
I dunno, maybe it's because you're the type of woman that would beat her husband with a golf club, is why he's with another woman.
You go to jail and lose your freedom, he gets nursed back to health, with love from a woman that cares.
Win/win for him.
Woman or Man, the judge would most likely be lenient.
