An Oxford medical student “too bright” to be given a prison sentence has been allowed to walk free from court - despite the judge acknowledging that she broke her bail conditions.

Lavinia Woodward, 24, who stabbed her Cambridge University boyfriend in the leg with a bread knife, was spared jail yesterday as she was commended for her “strong and unwavering determination” to address her drug addiction.

As she left the courtroom, Woodward was seen mouthing the words “thank you” to the judge as she was ushered out of the dock in tears by her family.

The decision was last night criticised by criminal justice campaigners, who said that the lenient ruling would deter men who had fallen victim to domestic abuse from coming forward.

Yeah, so much for male privelege. What are the chances that this lenient sentence would be given to a man only because he was intelligent? I'm going with zero. You know who else were highly intelligent: Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Hell, I'd actually argue that intelligence makes a violent criminal more dangerous since they will be resourceful enough to cover their tracks and do crimes more efficiently. And what does this say to men on the receiving end of violent and emotionally abusive relationships?

It's ridiculous she's getting out of this because she's a hot blonde, because a ugly chick regardless of her intelligence would also be incarcerated for this.
