A socialist on feminism and a blast from the past

WHILE what we have termed Political Feminism vehemently asserts its favourite dogma, the intellectual and moral equality of the sexes--that the woman is as good as the man if not better-- Sentimental Feminism as vehemently seeks to exonerate every female criminal, and protests against any punishment being meted out to her approaching in severity that which would be awarded a man in a similar case.

Here is a report from the BBC on a case that almost exactly mirrors what I have written above. [About fantasising about burning his female, abusive, former partner. -- Stephan Morgan]

Killer given domestic violence award

An Asian woman who was jailed for life for setting fire to her husband has been honoured at an awards ceremony for breaking the taboo of domestic violence.

Kiranjit Ahluwalia, from Southall, west London, was convicted for the murder of her husband in 1989 despite suffering 10 years of brutality at his hands.

Ahluwalia, who had her life sentence quashed in 1992 after her guilty plea to a manslaughter charge was accepted, was honoured at the first Asian Women Awards.

"The Asian women honoured here...are true role models for the next generation" -- Cherie Booth [PM Tony Blair's wife]
