Someone in feminist seems to think that the woman in this story is being unfairly singled out.

There is being a feminist, and then there is being a human being. Look at the facts of the situation and then tell me if there's any bias.

I'm just surprised that she only got two years of "youth detention" as a sentence! You can get more than that for simple assault (WITHOUT battery), and this was the knowing (if not intentional) infection of another party with a potentially fatal disease! Even best-case this guy's life has changed forever for the worse, and she only gets two years? I'd think that at least five years in actual *prison* wouldn't be out of the realm of reasonable. More like 10 with eligibility for parole in 5. Soft-touching the first case of this kind just makes it seem less like a crime and more like a "simple misunderstanding that we can take care of with treatment" or some other bullshit.
