Taken together, the twelve female-only defenses allow almost any woman to take it upon herself to exercise the death penalty. Ironically, we now consider it liberal to favor a woman exercising the death penalty and to oppose the goiemment exercising the death penalty. The government is not allowed to kill someone first and declare him or her an abuser later — only a woman can do that to a man. But perhaps most amazing is that denial of due process is called liberal if a woman denies it to a man; totalitarian if anyone denies due process to a woman.
