I would argue that the Bill makes a false assumption that all of the Offenders will be male, based on the last page citing J and C as male offenders as examples, rather than using a male and female as examples thereby providing a spread more in line with statistics (let's assume Bayesian methods are correct, which they are).

" J is a 47-year-old sexual offender convicted of the abuse of young boys. He has a licence condition not to have contact with children under the age of 18 years. "

" C is a 33-year-old sexual offender convicted of downloading and sharing indecent images of children. He has a licence condition not to possess any internet devices unless approved by his supervising officer. "

If the Bill was a fair proposition, then it would have included both males and females in the examples. Therefore, because the Bill only used males for all examples, it could be interpreted that the Bill is aimed only at males, as only males commit sex offences and domestic violence.
