Study shows that men receive sentences 63% higher than women for same crime

Oh look. Explicit empirical discrimination with real consequences and massive implications. That thing feminism has never produced for women.

Past studies have also found that minority men are, on average, given longer prison sentences than white men convicted of the same crimes.

So... according to these stats, women are the most privileged class BY FAR, with white men behind women, and minority men having it the worst.

But I thought women were the most oppressed? /s

By the way it's not just sentencing.

This paper assesses gender disparities in federal criminal cases. It finds large gender gaps favoring women throughout the sentence length distribution (averaging over 60%), conditional on arrest offense, criminal history, and other pre-charge observables. Female arrestees are also significantly likelier to avoid charges and convictions entirely, and twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted.

Remember kids, pointing this out is misogyny. Women are the real oppressed class.

I know there are some Feminists who read this subforum ... come on, feminists, where is the push to gain equality for women on this issue ?

I'm waiting ...

What do feminists have to say about this inequity ?

Well known of course inside the industry, but because of feminist hate campaigns not well know outside of it. So an example of how feminism hides male victims and helps to persecute and violently attack men.

By contrast the racial bias -- which is smaller -- is much better known. In fact they mentioned it even in this article that was supposed to be on gender but notice what they didn't do -- they didn't publish a comparable figure so the reader could gauge whether the sexism or racism was worse. Why didn't they? IMO because they figured they were already going to face a large enough attack for publishing even what they had. By deliberately introducing the race bias into the story about gender but not mentioning it was a lesser problem, they could make the article look like more of a "patriarchy hurts men too (but not nearly as much as others)" type of story.

Another thing the article could have mentioned is that women judges have less of a sentencing gap than male judges. This is an easily measurable example of how men-in-charge means women-treated-better. That's the exact opposite of what feminists claim and it means the very basis of feminist conspiracy theory talk about "patriarchy" is the exact opposite of reality.

Next time some feminist goes on about how men are in power remind her that men-in-power means women-treated-better. of course women in power also means women are treated better, but in the case of judges sentencing criminals at least, we know the women are not AS biased as the men.

I really think equality in sentencing should be the first piece of legislation that the men's rights movement should be pushing hard for because it's the easiest to get. There are no good arguments against it and feminists who fought against it would look like huge sexists for doing so. It really is the low hanging fruit/easiest to attain of our goals and should be put at the forefront of the MRM.

Where is the main stream media screaming at this story? The feminists? Anybody?

"Judges have been told to deal less severely with female criminals than men when determining how to sentence them. "

Original Research Study for those interested in reading Sonja Starr's research rather than the Huffpost breakdown.

"A 2009 study suggested the difference in sentencing might arise because "judges treat women more leniently for practical reasons, such as their greater caretaking responsibility."

There's always a fucking excuse. If practicality were the cause judges would be giving men lighter sentences as men are still the primary money earners in most families. Same logic, different sexes, different outcome -- how 'bout that!

The lack of publicity of studies like this relative to the nonsense advocacy studies put out by feminiists screams feminized media, misandry, and female supremacy in general.

This subreddit is garbage. All you do is complain about women instead of trying to push for male rights. Wtf is wrong with you?
