I am quite concerned at how violent women seem to have gotten. I don’t know why people claim that men are the ones who commit most violent crime when there are ladies like this who act just as violently.

Yes, for the avoidance of doubt, my post is entirely sarcastic and no, I am not a man.

For those who have not opened the article, it features a male with full beard who is described as a woman because that is how he identifies. He doused a woman (biological female) in petrol and set her alight. She however does not get to be called a woman in the headline and instead is referred to as ‘person’.

What the fuck.

Sorry - the may have went distracted me - but I meant to say that it makes it worse that they refer to the perpetrator (who is obviously male) as a woman, but to the victim (who is female) as a person. What sickening bias.

...is that a recent picture of the perpetrator?!

I hope my ‘Mc joke’ typo Is indicative of a night of no sleep and I can be forgiven. 😬😬

Well - that's just ridiculous! Why don't they just report the truth which is that a man set a woman on fire? Trying not to think of the phrase "may have went on an arson spree"

Ahhhh....sorry! Didn’t read the article and read goadiness! I see now...

What a div (me!)

Because men ARE the ones who commit MOST violent crime. Some women can be violent but more men are. This one case isn’t indicative of a rise in Mc joke the crime amongst women. Do you have any stats to back your concerns?

Also, are you a man?
