Women Are Calling Out A Double Standard After Police Arrested A Woman For "Threatening" A Medical Insurance Company

This post contains brief mention of rape.

A Florida woman was recently arrested and charged for allegedly telling a BlueCross BlueShield insurance agent who denied her claim: "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next."

Since her arrest, women online have expressed outrage at what they see as a double standard of justice, calling out how quickly police arrested this woman for her words while often telling female victims that they cannot make arrests for simple threats.

Here's what women are saying:

1."I am so confused about this.. I have gotten so many rape and death threats on this website, and even went to the police about particularly serious ones years ago, and they said there was nothing they could do about threats. Are threats only illegal if they’re at corporations?"

2."but ladies don’t ever forget that if someone is stalking you and threatening YOU with violence, the police will tell you they simply cannot do anything until he actually rapes or murders you"

3."men threaten women all the time and I don't see them getting charged with a 100k bail"

4."but when women report about threats/stalking its 'no can do until an actual crime has taken place'?"

5."if that’s a m*rder threat, then 'your body my choice' is a r*pe threat."

6."this is so hehe haha funny because when I was being stalked, threatened, and harassed the cops told me that they couldn't do anything because I hadn't been physically harmed *yet*."

7."It’s just so crazy to me how quickly they respond to this threat but my ex roommates ex bf almost str******* her best we could do was pushed back court cases"

8."My kids dad kicked in my door and wouldn't leave I called the cops he made me out to be crazy I had to leave my house with my 2 kids and the cops then sat outside my parents house watching me!"

9."My ex stalked me everywhere I went and threatened me multiple times in person and on the phone. He didn't even get arrested."

10."when a man threatened me in a email the police said it was 'free speech' and 'nothing they could do.'"

11."but my stalker can threaten to show up to my job and cops can't do anything."
