Oxford student spared jail!

And in the mean time (likely years if we shift public attitude towards equal rights for men here, with no sign of public opinions shifting that way at all) we continue this inequality.

My point stands that it wasn't attempted murder, but you shouldn't underplay that he could easily have exsanguinated and died. The idea that stabbing someone should be totally separated from causing a potentially fatal injury is silly.

I guess the only other thing you could have charged her with was "Wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm", but I have to assume that given her mental state the CPS felt there was little prospect of proving intent beyond reasonable doubt. They were both very lucky that it wasn't more serious, but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate charge for a violent crime that presented a danger to life without any intent to cause grievous harm.

How can stabbing someone not be considered as intent to cause bodily harm?

I am truly disgusted. I can't even articulate how this makes me feel. When I read the initial article about her back in March, I thought that she would get a prison sentence. To find out that she has been spared it, and her biggest worry is that she can't go clubbing in London just shows that she's a narcissistic psycho. White privilege at its finest.

Don't medical schools have an obligation to only permit medical students who are fit to practice? Oxford should expel this person.

He'd be serving 25 - life for attempted murder.

Eugh horrible lady. Come on feminists, where are you now huh???? Shouldn't you be screeching like harpies about how she should get the same sentence as a man because the genders are equal????? But no, these fat, blue haired feminists who don't shave their armpits only want equality when it suits them; when the women get the better deal things are fine as they are. In those cases the feminists are as quiet as a mouse and are deep inside the woodwork.

Do you really think feminism is about pressing for women to be sent to prison? Given how little it does anything useful for male offenders, that hardly seems like a good political position.

I think we're beginning to see in the thread that this isn't about privilege, but another chance for woman hate.

A lot of commentators have picked up that we cannot be serious about domestic violence if we ignore this aspect of the case. The victim has been ignored in all this.

Are you saying the judge ignored that?

I thought it was the case that it was a bread knife and he had only superficial wounds by the way and it was a casual tinder encounter, so it doesn't sound like the classic domestic abuse driven to extremes scenario, more like what it is, a case of drug abuse and nutty behaviour by someone who should know better.

"nutty behaviour?"
