95% of UK prisoners are men, women most affected.

The screenshot is from this video on the Empathy Gap. the first example is when men are killed or die the media use terms like "people" or "workers" ! but when women die their sex is highlighted in the titles.

The UK gov started "Female Offender Strategy" but no "Male Offender Strategy" despite the fact that 95% of people in prison are males !

This is a result of the way the society see men and women as explain Jordan Holbrook in the article "Why we need to change the attitude that ‘men are the criminals, women are the victims’"

This psychological template is why government policy is to treat women as victims (thus, not criminals) whereas men are discarded and treated as criminals (thus, not victims). Various guidelines (The Female Offender Strategy, Corston Report, President of the Supreme Court Baroness Brenda Hale OBE’s influential 2005 Longford Trust Lecture and the Equal Treatment Bench Book) all say that female offenders’ life histories must be considered when they are passing through the criminal justice system. Have they endured abuse? Do they suffer from adverse mental health? Ultimately, are they victims? This line of enquiry is not extended to men. By considering the negative aspects of their life histories, female offenders are awarded softer sentences and treatments to support & accommodate them. The template of women as victims and men as perpetrators is applied, leading to a massive sex discrepancy in the prison population.

But how many men in the Criminal Justice System should be receiving psychological help instead of punishment? At the Male Psychology Conference 2017, Dr Naomi Murphy from the Fens Offender Personality Disorder Pathway Service at HMP Whitemoor spoke of her work with offenders in her care. She found:

• 66.1% reported childhood sexual abuse
• 72.6% reported childhood physical abuse
• 80.6% reported childhood neglect
• 66.1% reported childhood emotional abuse
• 59.7% reported parental antipathy
• 43.5% reported parental domestic violence
• 54% of the men who were sexually abused were victimized by a woman

Thus around 65% of the men she worked with had suffered some form of childhood abuse which, if it had been caught sooner by the system, could have resulted in these men being directed away from incarceration and towards the help they need.

But for some reason policy makers ignore all the research.

In the UK, we have it as official policy that women only get imprisoned for the most serious of crimes, despite men getting imprisoned for much less.

Judges OPENLY state they are sparing women from imprisonment because they're women and are not punished for it despite it being the most blatant sexism imaginable.

Not to mention that men literally cannot be raped by women under UK law due to it requiring penetration with a penis.

Naturally, there's a government position for women and equalities - not just a 'minister for equalities,' of course, because women are so special and uniquely aggrieved that they must be emphasised. But nothing for men.

...but yeah, women have it really hard and misandry doesn't exist. MRAs are complete nutters for suggesting anything different. And even though it had a female prime minister until recently and has had a female head of state for 68 years, the UK is a patriarchy. Obviously.

Nothing on this earth is more infuriating than this

If that's not female supremacy, I don't know what is.

The same reason misogyny is being debated as a new hate crime law, misandry is off the table. If I lived there, as a man, I'd get the hell out, and quick.

Maybe men need to... "Remember, the 5th of November..." Such injustice can lead to revolution.

This is the start of the setting sun of England. Tell me something, would British men rise to the occasion to stop another Hitler? Why would men fight, when they are treated so shabbily?

This woman even got out of prison 7 years early from a 14 year sentence.

Whoever said this psyhcobabble, should read about this monster, she was no "victim": "Women cannot be perpetrators and perpetrators cannot be women. Instead, they are victims because they have to be."

Hey male here. In a way I'm pretty honored that women have it so much easier than us. And no matter all the shit society throws at us we still come out ahead!

No one cares about men. That's something that most people can't seem to get through their heads. This post won't change that, nor will the other 500 posts saying the same inequality between men and women. America is full of manhaters, and can't be saved at this point.

Why are boys mutiliated at birth, but women are spared cosmetic procedures to their genitals? Why can women sell their bodies online and make more than an honest working man with a college degree? Why do men never get any kind of help from others, when they're the ones being abused? Why do homeless women and children get constant help, but homeless men get left to die on the streets? There's a reason why most middle-aged white men in America are committing suicide at alarming rates, and it's not because society treats men fairly, or god forbid some moron think men actually have it better.

I've had a friend take his life because he saw circumcision as mutilation, and to be honest I'm in the same boat. I have suffered extreme emotional distress, not just by my friends suciide, but also by my own modified body. I have thick black hair all the way up to my circumcision scar and that's not natural. For years, I thought I had a normal penis, and always wondered why other boys laughed at me in the lockerroom. Eventually, I began thinking my size was inadequate, but now I know the truth. It took me twenty-two long years to realize why they laughed. Fuck America, fuck the media, fuck the hospitals, and fuck the man-hating women here.

All of this is true and yet, Americans will never understand that circumcision causes damage. It's not just physical, but the psychological damage is permanent as well. Not all circumcisions are equal, and some can be badly botched. Dicks get severed from the body, and then reattached or remade from other skin, far too tight of a circumcision forces scrotal skin onto the dick, and yet none of this is immediately problematic. We don't find out that we've been mutilated until it's too late. I just feel betrayed by my own country. I hate being a young white man in America, and I want out. Call me an infidel, call me whatever you wish, but all of these truths will be realized eventually. Humans have the means to research things for themselves thanks to the internet, so our government can't hide what they've done. What's the next best thing if you can't hide it under a rug? Pretend that it's harmless and no damage is caused in 100% of cases. Fuck off.

So what would be the key issues to tackle here?
