Rapists of men and boys given tougher prison sentences than those who target female victims (UK)

"Rapists of males have received longer sentences each year since 2018, with the gap widening from two months to 12 and then to 21.

In 2016 and 2017, it was rapists of females who received tougher sentences, with a gap of four months in 2017 and less than one month in 2016."

Solicitor Harriet Wistrich: “It doesn’t surprise me at all. It seems to me to be reflective of a higher value placed on men over women in our culture basically, and so it’s more appalling to be a male victim than a female victim.

“Generally we see that female victims are treated often really unsympathetically unless they’re a perfect victim, if you like.

“The question arises whether there are also issues with homophobia as well I suppose, that’s there’s something more debasing and more offensive with a man doing it to another man than opposed to a woman.”

Granted, this is the UK. A country that doesn't recognize female on male rape by law. So the above stats only account for male rapists.

Also, they only seemed to care when men abusing men/boys received harsher sentencing, not when men abusing women/girls received harsher sentencing.

A few additional thoughts: I thought it was incredibly stupid for that solicitor to say, "It seems to me to be reflective of a higher value placed on men over women in our culture basically, and so it’s more appalling to be a male victim than a female victim."

Female rapists aren't even recognized in the UK by law. How can she say the UK places more value on men than women, when only male rapists are recognized. If female rapists were to be recognized, she'd (probably not) realize we place less value on male rape victims when the perpetrator is female. Additionally, the UK places male victims of rape under "violence against women": https://news.sky.com/story/male-survivors-ignored-as-their-abuse-is-classified-as-violence-against-women-13286615

Moreover, why from 2018-2020 did rapists of males receive higher sentencing than rapists of females, but the previous years rapists of females received higher sentencing? Must be something else going on other than "we place higher value on men over women".

Finally, perhaps men raping other men/boys is more appalling than men raping women/girls (at least from 2018-2020) (funny they didn't mention about the previous years), but one things for sure, men raping women/girls is more appalling than women raping men/boys.

This goes to show incredibly biased feminist framing is.

Edit: Just realized, the solicitor who said this in the article about culture placing more value on men than women (due to this sentencing disparity) is a radical feminist and her partner is Julie Bindel.
