   Who?  Me?  I would never say that.  Why, if I said that,   
   somebody would probably accuse me of hating women!   
      
   I'm just saying -- the average sentence for a man who kills his wife   
   is almost three times as long as the average sentence for a woman   
   who kills her husband.  A difference which cannot be accounted for   
   by factoring in things like prior records, self defense, or even degree   
   of charges (first degree, second degree etc).
