is there any criminal activity committed by women that is or could be justified?

Depends who is giving/assessing the justification.  Many people of both genders consider that their offending behaviour is to some extent justified ("I had to do it", "I didn't have any choice", "there was no other way", "you'd have done the same thing", etc, are commonly expressed views).\n\nOffences which might be viewed by a court as in some measure justified are those involving self-defence.  There are cases of women who kill a violent partner after years of physical, psychological and sexual abuse receiving more lenient sentences than murder would otherwise warrant because the extreme provocation and the need for her to protect herself and/or her children is such a potent mitigating factor.

Females should have equal rights under the law particularly in the criminal justice system.

The issue should be "Stop Violence". \n\nAnyway, stopping violence against women will lead to a better life. But there will always be the need of wise, cool and calm decisions.

It would depend on the individual case. If the police and/or prosecution had planted evidence or hid evidence that would have proved someones innocence, then deliberately and knowingly prosecuted an innocent man, then yes, under those circumstances I feel both criminal and civil charges should be brought against the "People". But unfortunately our law system is not perfect and even when everything is done by the book, sometimes an innocent person is found guilty of a crime that they did not commit. In those cases you cannot blame the prosecution or law enforcement, and it would be unfair to penalize them.

No, but PMS can be used as a defense for murder! Watch out Sleazy, because i have it now!

I would check if all criminal/court proceedings are public record like they are in the US. In the US, she is only saying what is already public record and doing nothing illegal.

The answer is yes.  To commit a crime, two separate elements must be met.  First, the actus reus - or act.  You must do something that is prohibited.  Damaging someone's property is illegal (if nothing else it is a trespass).  Second, is the mens rea, or the guilty mind.  Every crime carries with it a different level of intent needed in order to be guilty.  For example for capital murder, the level of intent required is very high.  The murderer must have premeditated the crime and intended to cause the death of his victim.  For damaging someone's property, it is likely enough that you were simply negligent.  Anything more, such as intentionally damaging the property would also suffice.  So from your example, and assuming in the hypothetical that you intended, or at least were negligent in causing the damage then you have committed a crime.  It is absolutely irrevelevant whether anyone saw you do it.  Of course if there is no proof, then it's difficult to convict you - but that's not the question.  Did you commit a crime?  Absolutely.

Yes. By using the example of the immorality of others, feel free to commit crimes. Sheesh.

Yes, but not as they did: justifying the move on security grounds. I would do it based on equal rights. \n\nIn a democratic country no woman (or man) should be treated in a way that violates her right to be free (even if she is used to deny herself).

Prostituion is not a crime, and unless women are not force to make that job it sholdn't be considered illegal, inmoral or anything else.\n\nI knew prostitutes that had a great education and culture, and they made that choice because it was fast money and they had a body and attitude according to do that job.

I'm confused?  Why is being a woman a crime?  \n\nIs this some feminist ideal of, I'm not making as much money as someone else?

Dont forget that in divorces involving children, the trend is the court sides with the mother.  Take the rape case about the Duke U. Lacrosse team.  There has been no real evidence one way or another other than the victims word, and her identity is protected under law, but even if the players in question are found innocent, because their identities are public, they will always have to live down the facts of this case.  There is most definitely a double standard when it comes to women, and I think there needs to be balance brought back to all systems, not just legal.

Not at all.  There was a recent case of this in Africa, with her sentence (being buried to the neck and stoned) being "reconsidered" because of the international reaction.  Other behaviors have been protested, too.  The South American custom of a man murdering his divorced wife if she starts to date again, and calling it a matter of "honor".  Indian women being burned in a "cooking accident" because the dowry didn't come through.  Why should Muslims be given a pass?  They just convicted a man in Georgia for cutting his daughter's clitoris off with a pair of scissors in order to be sure she remained "good".  He may protest his sentence, but she'll suffer longer than he will.  This isn't ethnocentricity.  It's an ability to empathize with a person who suffers.  Those without the ability to empathize aren't faithful to any religion; they're merely psychopaths.

Definitely right.  Murder would be the best example of a crime that merits the punishment.
