That is an interesting observation.
When that feminine compassion is wrongly harnessed towards criminals, it has the opposite effect that it would when channeled towards those deserving of it.
Criminals see compassion of any kind as weakness, and it invites more criminality.
That makes the direction of that compassion by a Judge in a legal system meant to UPHOLD the law of the Republic all the more distressing and troubling.
Yes. It's also how Muslims see it, btw.
