If her dad can do something, for ff's sake, GOOD. Haul her ass in. Whatever works. Dads can do less about their sons, maybe just because of overpowering strength alone.

That's pretty rich coming from someone lacking the physical or mental dexterity to navigate the 1/8th inch gap between the letter Z and the SHIFT button. Bottom line - if you're going to start bitching about societal inequality when it comes to sex, you might want to pick a different area than the justice system. A system where women are routinely let off with lighter sentences for the same crimes, are given the benefit of the doubt in nearly all custody and divorce cases, ect. I'm a father myself, and if she was my daughter (or my son) I would be doing exactly the same thing. As headache pointed out, Martin Sheen was just as vocal about helping his son as Amy's dad is. It's not a question of society thinking some poor helpless girl needs a hand up - it's a father who's trying desperately to save his child. If you can't see even altruistic acts like these without painting them with your own political hangups, and accusing people of shady motives, then I kind of feel sorry for you. Retarded?

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:41:53 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=11235#comment-10877 You're still managing to miss my point. "plently of men are caught/photographed using drugs or causing car accidents or being abusive and get away with muh lighter sentences than they deserve" I'm not talking about what they 'deserve', I'm talking about cold statistics. Check sentencing statistics for anywhere in the country (I believe you can find them on the CIA factbook page) and you'll see that women get lighter sentences than men for the same crimes. This isn't even disputable, it's first year law school stuff. The classic example are the 'postpartum' cases. Find me any case in American history where a man killed all of his children and anyone cared about his state of mind at the time. Am I bitching about the discrepancy? No. I just accept that our society operates that way. I do find it ironic that you're claiming she's being singled out though. All of the men you named have been in serious legal trouble for the same behavior she's getting away with, and it's not just her. Robert Downey Jr. spent more than a year in jail. Tom Sizemore - ditto. Amy Winehouse got a warning for a videotaped assault. Who's really got the bum deal here? You’re still managing to miss my point.

Amy is a grown adult and the calls for her father to come rescue her are odd I suppose in light of that. I think the only reason I suggested it for Britney was for the sake of Mr Spears' grandbabies. Charlie Sheen's father however, was very vocal about his son's issues and his hope that Charlie would get the help he needed. It is because of Martin Sheen's actions when Charlie was acting the ass, that I sided with Charlie when Denise Richards made her claims. Bros does have a point now that he’s clarified himself.

Seriously, your argument is pretty damn ironic when you think about it. These women are AVOIDING criminal prosecution for the same crimes that those men headache and I mentioned were charged and convicted of - and instead their daddies are coming to save the day. Ask Charlie Sheen if he would rather have been in trouble with the law or had Martin Sheen embarrass him a little in the public eye and get him some help. You're bitching about them being persecuted when men wouldn't be, but in fact they're getting off way lighter than any of those men did for similar offenses. ‘In addition to state punishment’ - in addition to what punishment exactly?
