Umm.. it's conservatives who have a consistent view on vaginas and guns. You have a right to own one, but not an absolute right to do anything you want with them. And it's a simple message for both: "Don't kill people". Killed any more babies lately, by the way? Anonymous

My brain thinks you're brilliant, largely because as a 19-year-old bloke your writing makes me constantly question the decisions made by my ego. I think you've managed to make me a better person. This must be what it feels like when a pokemon evolves. theirongooch

This is basically the greatest email I’ve ever received, ever.

And yet another predictably misandrist post on friendzoning. Clementine Ford logic: If there's a male and a female perspective, the male one is wrong and the female one is right. You probably don't even realise how hypocritical you are by pretending you're the one on the side of equality. Anonymous

The average prison sentence for men who kill their intimate partners is 2 to 6 years. Women who kill their partners are sentenced, on average, to 15 years.¹⁷ A pair of Maryland cases vividly illustrates this inequality in sentencing.¹⁸ In one case, a judge in Baltimore County, Maryland sentenced Kenneth Peacock to 18 months for killing his unfaithful wife. The very next day, another judge in the same county sentenced Patricia Ann Hawkins to three years in prison for killing her abusive husband. Significantly, the prosecutor in the Peacock case requested a sentence twice as long as the one imposed, while the prosecutor in the Hawkins case requested one-third of the sentence imposed.

“As many as 90% of the women in prison today [2008] for killing men had been battered by those men.¹⁵”
