The more I learn about Russia, the less I like it.

Wiki is often incorrect:

Women can be jailed for longer than 20 years.

But you are right only men can receive a whole life tarrif which is discrimination.

Russia were taken to the EU court of rights who said countries are allowed to discriminate by gender.

Every country in the world discriminates against men but no one cares about males.

We can have feminists outraged if we put this like misogynistic Russia believes women can't be as good as men in sustaining life in prison

oh the ECHR the European Court of Human rights court approved this disparity back than when Russia was still a member , useless court that costs money.

Patriarchy clearly at work here too

Friendly_Might_1348 · 2024-01-26T15:06:45+00:00

And yet feminists still believe in some imaginary patriarchy

Before the moratorium only males could be executed.

They take their breeding years from them. Then they have a little babushka to toil away at the factory. Men are much less maluable. But I agree, it's fucked up and should change. Probably not the most fucked up thing about living in Russia though.

I once knew a Russian guy who had been to prison in Moscow. He told me that they were some 20 men in a cell and there was only 1 bed. So they took turns, sleeping one hour each and after one hour, somebody would wake you to take your place.

He also told me that the food was so bad that they tried their best to go without food. They manufactured a drug which he called Krokodil. As far as I understood it was made from the phosphorus in matchboxes. But it is so toxic that it literally destroyed your body from the inside out.

The only people who hate men more than radical feminists are hyper traditionalists and fundies. They hate women too, just in different ways.

Wikipedia is not fully correct about 20 years.

Rather recent example - https://meduza.io/cards/27-let-kolonii-dlya-dari-trepovoy-samyy-surovyy-prigovor-dlya-zhenschin-v-istorii-sovremennoy-rossii-iz-chego-slozhilsya-etot-chudovischnyy-srok (link is in Russian) Darya Trepova got 27 years for "terrorism", "illegal explosive devices","usage false documents".

Also, Russia is NOT feminist heaven like USA is

May as well mandate their sentences start at 40 so you don't waste any fertility lmao
