“Sometimes, however, gender stereotypes benefit women, particularly in the area of criminal justice. “Scholars have found that women receive shorter sentences for sex crimes than men. A 2014 study suggests that federal courts are more lenient on female defendants in general. They are less likely to incarcerate women and tend to give women shorter sentences than men.”
