Quote:If they put her to death for this, they are sending a message to women, that they are second class, and they have no say in how men treat them.So what? It's the complete opposite in the USA you know - almost all women who get sentenced to death in the USA have their sentences commuted down, and overall women do not serve the same length of time for the same crimes that men do. That's not unique to the USA, in fact in most western countries on average men serve longer than women for the same crimes.
What's my point? My point is you'd be hard-pressed to find any society where men and women are actually treated equally under the law.
