For what it's worth, I did the What Kind of Feminist Are You quiz! My top 3 results were: 1) Amazon feminism 2) Anarcho-feminism and 3) Anti-feminism!

I have no idea how true all that is!

I know. It's shocking. I heard somewhere that in rape/sexual assault trials women jurors tend to be less sympathetic to the victim than male ones, for some reason.

That implies that those female judges are either trollops who assume everyone shares their standards of behaviour, or virgins, who think sex is dirty & all women who have sex at all are sluts.

I was on jury service a few years ago (very interesting experience), and one of the cases I had to decide on involved a man who was on trial for sexually abusing his partners young (pre-teen) daughter from a previous relationship whilst he was living with them both as part of a family unit.

Long story short, all the evidence clearly pointed to him being ''without reasonable doubt'' guilty. Myself and most of the other jurors agreed this to be so, except for 3 women, who for some reason were completely blinkered and biased about the whole thing, and refused to give a 'guilty' verdict. So the man got off.

My opinion as to why these 3 women acted in this way? They disapproved of the mother (who was giving evidence against her now- ex partner). They didn't like her or her ''moral standards'', and for those reasons, justice wasn't done imo..

They basically blamed her for 'letting it happen' ffs!

That's sheer stupidity on their part - it's a pity they probably won't get to know about the next child he mauls, and therefore won't realise their own share of responsibility for having allowed that to happen.

How ridiculous.
