Woman Jailed for Setting Friend on Fire After Misogynistic Remarks

A 25-year-old Australian woman, Corbie Walpole, has been sentenced to a minimum of four and a half years in prison for setting her childhood friend on fire. The incident occurred last year after a birthday celebration where Walpole, who had consumed a significant amount of alcohol and taken cocaine, claimed her friend, Jake Loader, made misogynistic comments. \"He was antagonizing me and told me to go to the kitchen where I belonged because, and I quote, 'I'm a girl,\" Walpole recounted in court. Loader suffered severe burns and spent 74 days in a burns unit after the attack. The judge rejected Walpole's plea for mercy, stating that her actions were inexcusable. The case highlights the serious consequences of violence and the ongoing issue of misogyny.
