Nah, most people who rant about the wage gap are just dupes.
LOL. I thought it was a Spanish name.
Well, you predicted she would never be charged, that her name/picture would never be published, and that the charges would be dropped quietly. I do expect a conviction, because the similar Oscar Grant case resulted in a conviction (though maybe this case will not, because she possibly had the right to use deadly force).
You are right about one thing: jury is more likely to pity a woman.
You can call me anything, but not naive. Many, many people are duped by the wage gap nonsense. There is no reason at all to believe that they have impotent fantasies of killing their brothers, fathers, boyfriends, etc.
lol
Is that good for you? Mentally I mean. My considerably less pessimistic outlook is still quite depressing to me at times.
It is naive to not believe the eternal truth that powers flows from the barrel of a gun. And women will never be the wielders of those guns.
Most people have no idea what's going on. You may follow everything that happens, from a very biased perspective, continuously, but almost no one does. That is what you often forget. The average woman, just like the average man, is just going about her life, having no idea at all of what you describe as her 'privileges', but being plenty conscious of at least the fear she has for her safety when she is out alone.
So when you see the tip of the iceberg, you assume the rest of it as well (like with the wage gap), when there is no reason at all to believe that it's there.
