Biased title. Why should gender matter in law? This is a blatant attempt to tug at emotions. And they try to focus on '31 grams' instead of 'a year's supply'. Take that clickbait back to reddit.
Edit since a lot of people think I'm discussing the sentencing. I'm not, I'm discussing the article itself. My reasoning:
Why I find the headline objectionable:
Combined, the headline seems to be pushing a specific agenda, which I find deplorable (the covertness, not the agenda).
Are you an incel by any means? Because clearly if its a women, the title will obviously be that. If it was a man, it wouldve been that. Keep your incelish shit somewhere else man.
It's incelish to point out a headline is exploiting gender politics for clicks? Ok.
I'm not sure you know what an incel is, BTW. Here's the definition for your reference: "a member of an online community of young men who consider themselves unable to attract women sexually, typically associated with views that are hostile towards women and men who are sexually active."
Now tell me which part of my statement is hostile towards women, or in any way at all related to sexuality. You're merely using the term as a hammer against viewpoints you disagree with.
Using the word "female" instead of woman is often considered an incel kinda thing to do.
Yes, but they didn't.
