Is the Death Penalty Sexist?

Let's see. From the article, 10 percent of murders, and 35 percent of murders of intimates, are accomplished by women.

Since 1976, when the United States reintroduced the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment, 1,342 people have been executed. Of those put to death only 13 were women. This has some asking if the death penalty is sexist.

It is not often that sexism is so simply calculated with simple arithmetic. 10% of 1,342 is 137.2. Percentage of women actually put to death = .009, or .09%.

Seems only sexist when its a woman that has a big possibility of being sentenced to death
