正如麦克法夸尔所说,该案的犯罪调查员是“最顽固的大男子主义者”。一直以来,人们总是认为女性具有阴柔娇弱的性格特点。所以在选举、就业、参军等各个方面将女性排除在外,而在刑事司法体系的角度,人们还是据此认为女性不具有犯罪所需的精神力和行动力,而将女性从嫌犯名单中剔除。
Consider the case of Karla Homolka, a young Ontario woman. In 1991, she married an accountant, Paul Bernardo. They were an attractive, apparently happy couple, but, in 1993, Canadian authorities began to suspect Bernardo in a string of unsolved rapes. Investigators also linked Bernardo to the recent rape and murder of two local schoolgirls. When Homolka was questioned by police, she informed them that her husband was indeed responsible for the crimes, and that he had beaten her savagely and forced her to become an accomplice. Homolka made a sympathetic witness—a middle-class white woman who worked at a veterinary clinic and had been battered by her domineering spouse. She had also suffered a recent tragedy: in 1991, her fifteen-year old sister, Tammy, had died after she passed out from drinking too much champagne at a Christmas party and choked on her own vomit.
我们再来看看卡拉·霍穆尔卡(Karla Homolka)一案。1991年,这个年轻的安大略女子嫁给了一名会计保罗·博纳多,他们的婚姻生活非常甜蜜。可是1993年,加拿大当地警方开始怀疑博纳多涉嫌一系列强奸未遂事件。调查人员还认为博纳多与当时发生的两起强奸并谋杀学龄女孩的案件有关。卡拉接受审讯时声称,她的丈夫正是这一系列案件的主谋,他暴力迫使卡拉加入犯罪行动,使自己成为共犯。就这样,卡拉·霍穆尔卡,一个中产阶级的白人女兽医,被自己专横的丈夫暴力以对的悲惨遭遇赢得了舆论同情。这个女子还有着悲惨的过去,1991年她15岁的妹妹塔米,由于在圣诞聚会中喝下了过量香槟被自己的呕吐物窒息而离世。
