Judy's sexism on full display (1-16)

For those of you who still believe Judy is not sexist towards men, and doesn't treat the female plaintiffs any differntly than she does males, I hope you watched the 1-16 episode.

There were 3 quick cases. I'm talking about the last two cases:

In the second case, a Black male was the plaintiff in a 'car case' - who owed who money. He was trying to explain his case, but JJ kept interrupting. Finally, he said "Just listen..." to which triggered JJ to go into full defense mode: "YOU DON'T TELL ME TO JUST LISTEN!" she said while banging her ball point pen on her bench. The man quieted down and tried to explain his case once again, the defendant interfered, and they were thrown out.

The next case up: A Black female was the plaintiff in a 'car case' - who owed who money. She was trying to explain her case, JJ kept interrupting. Finally, she said "Just listen...". Did this trigger JJ into fulldefense mode with the ball point pen banging on her bench and her telling the plaintiff 'You don't tell me to just listen!"

Naaahhhh. JJ just tilted her head to one side and smiled at the woman, who then explained her case in full detail. Her case ended up being dismissed, too, because she 'had no case'.

JJ sexism at it's most obvious. She hates men - period.

I think it was because the female litigant saw the previous case in the green room, and saw (and heard) exactly what happened to the male litigant when he told JJ to "listen".

The female litigant caught herself just as soon as she said that. She smiled,
as if to say sorry.
JJ smiled, as if to say 'you saw what happened in the last case? Good call on correcting yourself'.

Well..that's the way I saw it, anyway. 

I can think of several times when she's kicked female litigants and/or witnesses out, too.

I don't know if those cases were done back-to-back. They usually record a bunch of cases over a few days then edit the tapes together for airing. So there's a very good chance those were recorded on different days and 'glued together'.

Lol! I caught that too and thought the same. Anyway, JJ just seemed over everything in that episode. She threw everybody out and wouldn't even listen to half of them.

All you ever talk about is how JJ is biased against men. It's not true. Watch 100 episodes of men vs. women....and tell me how many times each wins. I'll bet you anything it's about 50-50.

You're just looking for anti-man bias. If I was looking for anti-woman bias....I could tell you a hundred times JJ was 'mean' to a woman.

Maybe she treats them slightly different. Maybe she has slightly different expectations for what it takes to be a good man/husband/boyfriend vs. what it takes to be a good woman/mother/whatever. But she doesn't favor one over the other in her decision-making.

Please do. I would love to hear those 100 examples when she was biased towards women.

When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass.

I'd like to hear those 100 cases as well.

BTW, it's not just a matter of who wins, it's how she treats men differently from women during the hearing. And she does treat them very differently.
