I’m still confused about the details, but it looks like Parliament is about to make changes in murder laws to allow women to kill their partners in response to an abusive relationship, but not men.
Here are two of the many sides to this story:
Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.
Support Dean’s World

This is the logical conclusion of misandry and presumption of guilt.
What happens if both parties are women?
It also legally mandates treating women as though they’re children. These sorts of laws seem to take for granted that when confronted with difficult situations men can walk away, call the cops, defuse the situation, or simply endure. But women, apparently, can’t be expected to act like adults and must be be forgiven little failings like cold-blooded murder. Because, they claim, acting like a rational person when confronted with a bad situation is just too much for their pretty little heads.
Not only bad for men, but this ultimately corrodes the rights of women. Once your gender representatives insist that men are violent monsters and that women can’t be responsible members of society the next logical step is to "protect" women from open, unsupervised contact with a hostile world. Like in the Iranian tradition.

Huh? This law, while not very good, is an attempt to recognise that there is something wrong when men almost routinely can get suspended manslughter sentences if they can show wifey nagged them to go get a job and kindly take out the garbage on the way to the employment agency, while women who could show history of increasing violence leading them to fear for their lives are sentenced to life for murder and get a patronizing lecture about how they could have just left.Â
