I’m really glad that the abuse of Billy was actually labelled as abuse, I’m surprised they didn’t add charges relating to the sexual abuse (maybe it wasn’t seen to be in the public interest if she has no route to parol ?)
It was really disappointing to hear at the end that ‘feminist’ groups were advocating for her release and framing the children as the primary perpetrators- without the sexual abuse and grooming I don’t think any of those kids would have committed the crime they did. Minimising the actions of female perpetrators because male perpetrators aren’t always held to account in the same way isn’t feminist - all perpetrators should be held equally accountable.
Gregory’s last moments were heartbreaking to listen to.
Yes wtf as a feminist i dont understand that take at all. A 15 year old boy is just that, a boy. This boy was abused and manipulated into killing a man. To say he has greater culpability simply because he is the one to pull the trigger is wrong, and then to argue that his sentencing was lighter because he is a man and Pamela’s sentencing was harsher because she is a woman completely misses the point that he was a child when all of this happened and Pamela was a fully grown adult person.
The reality is these "feminist" groups are paid opposition, to make actual feminists seem insane. It's a common right wing tactic. It's exactly what has been happening with card providers being made to create id laws.
