His Justice, Her Justice -

His Justice, Her Justice - The feminist left's usual rant is that "the system" is irredeemably slanted against women. Women earn drastically less (untrue with men and women of equal education), women are unfairly denied custody of "their" children (statistically absurd), and women face a glass ceiling (untrue with women of equal experience).

But the most jarring difference is in criminal court. The Yates case shines a light on the biggest, most victorian difference between the statuses of men and women; when a father kills his children, he's a criminal who needs to be punished; when a mother does it, she's someone who needs help.

Doug Saunders, of the Toronto Globe and Mail, illuminates the differences. Justice is not gender-blind in America.
