Well, I have to beg to differ. First we don't know much about her other than what we read in the article. Maybe she wasn't a bitch. For all we know she was a crazy sort of "happy go lucky" prankster who finally pulled a fatal prank. I knew a girl like that in college. She'd go through all lengths to pull crazy pranks. It was all in fun. I even told her that one day she's gonna get hurt (or arrested) with some of the pranks she pulls. So the same could be true of this woman. She even looks like the type who would go through great lengths to pull a joke. I mean cmon... climbing through a chimney like Santa ? That doesn't sound bitchy or malicious. I'd probably have died laughing if I had a girl friend drop through the fireplace to see me. Unfortunately in this case her prank cost her life. And , I still say she looks pretty good for a 50 year old. I'd have hit on that...when she was still living.
Well, either you're exaggerating or, you knew some very very very bizarre women. I've known some pretty strange women over the years, but never had any problems. Now, it could be that I'm not very romantic so maybe women don't feel any sense of jealousy or attachment to me. I don't know. But I have friends who are typical romantic types and none have ever reported such issues. Even this one guy I knew who dated criminal types and knew a couple with raging streaks of extreme jealousy and bitterness. I'm not denying what you say happened, but I don't think it's fair to assume that women generally act this way or that this woman in the article was behaving in such a manner out of malice.I've had women break into my apartment, set fire to my door, send mail threatening to kill me, write my name and phone number with lurid made up details on my subway station, do the same to the girl I was with in the mens rooms of a college, stalk me, send people to f with me, and show up at my door at 3AM demanding to be let in. I even had one stalking me for over a decade while convincing everyone the reverse was happening.
What, come down the chimney like Santa ? You've got to be kidding. That's not hell, thats pure comedy. If anything this dame was a prankster,You know who I feel sorry for? This guy who she put through hell. Up until then, I'll guarantee you that everybody was convinced "the bad man" did something to her to make her do this.
Because more often than not the law does not like to get involved with boyfriend /girlfriend, husband/wife, disputes. Can't say I blame them. And, while their are exceptions, more often than not it's the male, beating, abusing, killing, the female than the other way around. So its natural to fall into the assumption that the male is at fault. And often that assumption turns out correct. But not always. Also, women do go to jail for stalking, abuse, murder, vandalism, etc. It's not always a slap on the wrist. Jealous women often take their anger out on inanimate objects owned by the person they cannot get over. I knew one guy who had a jealous girl friend come into his apartment when he wasn't home. She smashed things, broke things, tore up his clothes, and took a few items that she felt she was entitled to. She was arrested and she got a lot more than just a slap on the wrist.They're supposed to be our equals. So when does society start treating them as such and stop slapping them on the wrist?
Or will we still have the Victorian attitude of "Poor Misguided Girl" for another few centuries while this kind of thing keeps going on?
I really think the solution is not a matter of law. We have to teach people not to take things so seriously. A relationship goes bad, get over it, let it go. It's just another person, there are millions upon millions more. heck, you lose one girl friend/boy friend, you find another tomorrow. What's the big deal ? Human beings are all pretty much anatomically identical. One works just like the other. Matter of fact, many of them even look the same in general. Broken hearts, jealousy, rivalry, getting even, etc. is for idiots. One relationship is just like the next. Matter of fact its boring. We need to teach people that relationships are superficial. When it ends, let it go.
