Well, I'm not sure if I regret posting this here. What is weird is I'm not that mad because being from an academic background I am so used to academia focusing on women's needs.

The one part that has a simmer in me is how they describe women as Invisible in a system that is another huge example at how our society treats men as Disposable.

I'm reading this right now, so my apologies about not having a full and well articulated out look. I have memory problems (i.e., disability) and this is easier method to share.

The interesting things so far beyond the title is that from an equality perspective this sounds promising putting aside my personal belief that War on Drugs is a big player and should be stopped. However, we are talking about equal rights TODAY given the current system, so I place that opinion on the side.

So far what is interesting is that equality is slowly progressing in our culture regarding men and women with criminology. What is more interesting to me is this article gives great bullet points that the view of women being oppressed in our society -- a patriarchal society -- argues that the theoretical approach (wording?) of criminology in the past focuses on men SHOULD NOT be changed sine women should be regarded as having "Special Needs."

So far a very interesting and objective study (tons of citations).... (continuing to read)
