This was certainly the case with condemned Georgia murderer Kelly Gissendaner. Pope Francis chimed in and pleaded for Georgia to spare her life. Tens of thousands signed a petition pleading for mercy. Gissendaner's daughters, who also happened to be the daughters of the man whom she was complicit in his murder in 1997, also pleaded for her life.</p> <p> </p> <p>The compelling reasons for their pleas were that she was a model prisoner, counseled numbers of other inmates, and that the actual killer of her husband was her boyfriend who did not get the death penalty. But the big, and unstated reason, was she was a woman. Georgia hadn't executed a woman in 70 years. And since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 only 15 women have been put to death according to the Death Penalty Information Center.</p> <p> </p> <p>This more than anything guaranteed that her claim would get noticed. Gissendaner's case, though, is hardly unusual. Women commit more than one in 10 murders. But only one in 50 convicted women murderers get the death penalty, and few of those sentences are ever carried out. Female executions account for slightly more than 1 percent of executions.</p> <p> </p> <p>Women are far more likely than men to get their sentences commuted to life imprisonment. Which is exactly what the Georgia parole board had the option of granting. But it declined.</p> <p> </p> <p>In one sense, the squeamishness over executing women is a good thing. In fact, this is one of the rare times that it can truly be said that the gender bias that riddles the death penalty as much as racial and class bias has saved the lives of a lot of women who kill. But that doesn't make it any less problematic that this is the rationale for saving their lives. Prosecutors regard women as less violent, less threatening and more emotionally unstable than men. If they kill and maim, they supposedly do it out of blind love or loyalty to a man. Gissendaner is the near textbook example of that. This reinforces the notion that women are the dainty sex in need of guidance, protection and, ultimately, male control. This strips them of any social and moral accountability for and control over their acts. It makes it even easier to marginalize women.</p> <p> </p> <p>Husbands and boyfriends physically and emotionally savage many women. Yet, if women kill their mate, courts more often than not consider it self-defense. They are not branded or demonized as dangerous, violent sociopaths. When that argument doesn't fit, and women kill for the same reasons men do, many prosecutors, judges and juries still are reluctant to impose the death penalty. If they do impose it, there's a similar reluctance to carry out the sentence.</p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/2electricchair.jpg" style="height:349px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>That happened some years ago in the case of pick-ax murderer Karla Faye Tucker in Texas. Before Tucker was executed in 1998, conservative evangelicals Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, both death penalty hard-liners, rallied to her defense and demanded that she not be put to death. Robertson publicly called her "a sweet woman of God." Robertson and the evangelicals claimed they backed her because of her jailhouse born-again Christian conversion. But scores of men have also grabbed at the Bible and found God on death row. There's no record that Robertson or the others called any of them "sweet men of God" and leaped to their defense.</p> <p> </p> <p>The gender double-standard has raised howls from some condemned men, death penalty opponents and even some feminists, who argue that gender, just as race and wealth, should play no role in determining who lives and who dies in the nation's death chambers. However, that argument won't get any further than the argument that racial bias is ample reason to dump the death penalty. The Supreme Court put that to rest years ago when it ruled in <em>McCleskey vs. Kemp</em>, which mandated that generalized statistics of race were insufficient to invalidate a death sentence. For a defendant to have any chance of having his sentence overturned, he'd have to prove that the death penalty was imposed based on racial bias in his particular case, something that is usually very difficult to prove.</p> <p> </p> <p>Even if more women wound up on death rows, and were executed as fast as or faster than men, it wouldn't make the death penalty any fairer or less barbaric than it already is. While gender bias perpetuates stereotypes of female victimization and warped notions of male chivalry, it still offers some hope that prosecutors, judges and juries are willing to put legal fairness and human compassion before the bloodlust to legally kill. This should be the case regardless of whether the accused is Kelly Gissendaner, or a man.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Earl Ofari Hutchinson is an author and political analyst.

For decades, when Ratzinger’s shoe dropped, the tremor reverberated over Latin America, where half of the world’s 1 billion Catholics live.</p> <p>  </p> <p> After the watershed Second Vatican Council, which stressed ecumenism and invited active lay participation in ecclesial thinking and ritual, Latin America took the fresh insights of the Church to heart perhaps more than any other region. It was as if the piety and firsthand understanding of hardship and sacrifice that filled the lives of the Latin poor had been just waiting to burst out, to inform the wider faith with their understanding of it, thoughtfully to question what they saw as anomalous. Discussions among church members in small “base Christian communities,” and their dialogue with pastors and theologians, made the 1960s and 1970s effervescent with new perceptions and commitments to challenging injustice. Latin American bishops meeting in Medellin and Puebla established “the preferential option for the poor”; called oppressive structures like corrupt capitalism “sinful,” but not unchangeable; and declared the aim of practiced faith was not development, but liberation.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In the 1980s, the man now known as Pope Benedict XVI directed the Church’s doctrine watchdog office once called the Inquisition. He put the brakes on the fast-growing movement that became known as liberation theology, calling it a “fundamental threat.” The church’s body was moving ahead of its red-cloaked clergy, and that was intolerable. Ratzinger forbade certain world-famous Latin theologians to publish or preach by invoking what is called “silencing,” a tool wielded from above meant to prevent “confusion” among church members, but arguably used by Ratzinger to quell challenges to structures on which the Latin Church had fed for 500 years: small, landed, wealthy oligarchies; the militaries at their service; strict ecclesial hierarchies deaf to input from the ordinary laity.</p> <p>  </p> <p> When long-brewing civil strife erupted in Guatemala and El Salvador, the military denounced Church members who abided by liberation theology, characterizing it as a political movement aligned with armed leftist insurgents, killing dozens of unarmed priests and hundreds of civilian catechists.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Ratzinger remained virtually silent. Church figures calling for peace were targeted. Here in San Salvador, its government supported by the United States during a 12-year civil war, a right-wing death squad killed Bishop Oscar Romero as he said Mass in 1980. Members of the Salvadoran National Guard kidnapped, raped and killed four U.S. churchwomen working among the urban poor in the capital. In 1989, members of a U.S.-trained elite unit assassinated six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter. The Vatican was notable for pulling its punches with Washington during the time. What might have happened, Guatemalans and El Salvadorans ask to this day, if Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II had regarded the Latin American call for liberation from autocratic rulers with the same force with which the European churchmen supported the Polish Solidarity revolution?</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/mediumvatican%20%28DSLR%20Travel%20Flickr%29.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 399px;" /></p> <p>  </p> <p> Latin neoliberal administrations that emerged from the tumultuous 1980s and 1990s are a disappointment to many, failing to fill the promise of delivering better lives -- even ending poverty -- with development and new businesses. Amnesty International reports that the number of murdered El Salvadoran women and girls, mostly poor, often found mutilated, doubled in three years to 477 in 2011. The most recent (2011) United Nations Development Program Report on El Salvador reiterates throughout the need for social policy to become one of the mainstays of development, that “the welfare of persons is not only about income.” Much of the country, it says, continues finding a way of life in the middle of persistent poverty and inequality.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Rev. Jose Maria Tojeira, former rector of the University of Central America where the Jesuits were killed, told <em>El Faro</em>, El Salvador’s digital newspaper, that whoever is elected pope must be "very committed" to peace and support solidarity with the poorest during the "crisis of meaning" that prevails in the world. Much hunger and social justice persist, he said, "and I believe these are the challenges for the Catholic Church in a world very centered in technology, and in 'how to live' more than 'what to live for.’” Tojeira lamented that the pope would leave without completing the beatification process begun in 1996 for Archbishop Romero, a step to sainthood.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Amid speculation about who will be the next pope are suggestions that the time may have come for a Latin American prelate or someone from the global south. Half of the cardinals who will vote are from Europe, but only a quarter of Catholics live there. Whoever is elected, dramatic church changes do not appear imminent.</p> <p>  </p> <p> “Given that the previous and current pope have stuffed the College of Cardinals with like-minded conservatives, the future will probably look like the recent past,” said Thomas Sheehan, Professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University. Sheehan worked in El Salvador war zones as a freelance reporter in the 1980s.</p> <p>  </p> <p> What has not changed from the days when Ratzinger recognized the transformative potential of liberation theology and challenged it is the understanding that Latin America is the future of the Church. Before the pope’s surprise resignation announcement, he was scheduled to attend the opening of World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, July 1. The largest Catholic country in the world, Brazil has become an economic powerhouse and is home to some of the most outstanding liberation theology thinkers. The Vatican says it is not canceling a papal appearance. Brazil is likely to be the first foreign destination of the new pope.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p> <em>Mary Jo McConahay has reported from Central America for numerous publications.

Archetypes assigned (Cam the Mouth, Ant the Heavy), they’re pioneering a “hood therapist” model and putting it on iTunes.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/6mediumTOTS3-e1.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 600px; " /></p> <p> ToT’s creators are built of the hybrid genetic material of Steve Urkel and Stefan Urquelle, bred on comic books and “Star Trek” while averting sorrier characteristics of actual nerds, like social gracelessness and fear of seeing a woman naked.  Most of them are self-taught artists, a couple DJ, and they’re all on a straight IV of Twitter and Instagram in an effort to catapult after-dinner discussions into a  brand.  Their conversations, addictive insights from 30-something native New Yorkers, are punctuated with hoots and good-natured digs (distinct from the actual “View”).  The appropriateness of watching the films of a dead porn star are considered -- on the difference between whether it’s OK to watch Brandon Lee vs. a dead porn actress’s oeuvre: “I’m not physically excited watching <em>The Crow</em>...”  Guests are a hodgepodge of hipsters, skaters, writers and smartass girls.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/3mediumTOT-Behind%20the%20Scenes%20-%20Cam%20%26%20Pope%20listening%20closely%20to%20a%20guest.JPG" style="width: 650px; height: 405px; " /></p> <p> Women are funny to them (scary <em>and</em> funny). Romance and rejection, sex and breeder anxieties are explored without becoming a tired, Yakov Smirnoff- style primer on gender studies.  The subject of girls is sacred to the podcast, and according to Duane Merchant, The Face, who spoke with <em>Highbrow Magazine</em>, actually the basis for living.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  “Ask any guy.  Why did you go to college, start playing the guitar,  learn to break dance, get your license?” (Conversely, I can’t play any instruments or break dance, and I failed my driver’s test three times, so I consider their general commitment to us quite flattering).   Dating Like an Adult and Attack of the Exes are popular archives, their tones lively and sometimes bewildered. </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/2mediumTOT--Behind%20the%20scenes%20-%20Ant%20in%20deep%20thought.JPG" style="width: 650px; height: 433px; " /></p> <p> This inside peek into the way straight men talk, think and behave is what Pope Phoenix, the Mastermind, sought to recreate from his Bronx youth. “I always had a tight group of friends to talk openly with about my life without being judged. I figured every guy had that. Older, I realized this wasn't the case.”  He envisioned a forum in which the four could grow as artists, friends and pop culture magnates while solving their girl problems. </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/4mediumTOT-Behind%20the%20Scenes%20-%20Duane%20during%20a%20video%20shoot.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; " /></p> <p> The debate over what women want isn’t a revolutionary one; it’s the packaging.  And, when branding oneself, it helps that there’s not much competition for a group of stylish black dudes who can quote the “Star Wars” trilogy word for word.  But image, from typeface to T-shirts to ToT stickers plastered on benches in Budapest, doesn’t necessarily trump content.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  “We try to be socially informed, whether it be politics, pop culture or relationships,” The Mouth says.  Through discourse on issues like whether <em>The Lion King</em> is a ‘black movie,’ maybe this is an accessible forum to play with perception.  “We’re black, but far from media’s typical portrayal. Black geeks? Sure, why not?”</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/5mediumTOT-Behind%20the%20Scenes%20-%20The%20Makeshift%20table%20during%20our%20live%20season%20finale.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 600px; " /></p> <p> Fight The Power, a strong episode on the spate of suspicious deaths of black men over the last few months (decades?), was plugged on Twitter as such: “Why won’t Ant go see a black Superman? Why are black people waiting for a leader?”  <em>Mother Jones</em> this isn’t, but they manage to weave vital sociopolitical perspectives into geek culture. Social awareness is neither a mantle nor mission, but Cam is aware that this is an opportunity for conversations about justice, about change.</p> <p>  </p> <p> “Blacks still needing a ‘Malcolm’ or a ‘Martin’ to lead us somewhere, instead of educating ourselves. That change starts with ourselves.”   But Duane’s take on the election year sums ToT’s Justice Lite leanings.  “Anyone but Santorum-- that guy is trying to ban porn.”</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/8mediumTOTS3-e3.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 600px; " /></p> <p> Ant, the Heavy, is similarly straightforward on the role of a show like this.  “Come to us for the answers. Will we solve all of yours problems? Nope. But we do take pride in [reflecting] peoples’ voices.
