| 1. Men are more likely to end up in prison in the US. By a really large amount. That seems to be a very misleading way of reporting statistics that is sexist. 2. One sexist system being used to justify another. 3. Prisoners aren't given respect. Nothing special about either of those conditions that make it stand out any more than all the recent cases of prisoners with medical needs dying because of disrespect. Saying women need more help is not just sexist, it is so incredibly and blatantly sexist that any educated person that agrees can have significant judgments made about their views in regards to sexism. Here, let me give an example. 1. Whites in the US are X percent of the total white population but white US prisoners are >X percent of the total white prisoners. 2. Whites going to prison are more likely to be an active patent to a child, meaning the child will be instead raised in a single parent family or go to foster care. 3. Whites in prison aren't respected. Thus, whites in prison need more special treatment to help them more than minorities. Anyone seriously giving the above argument, who was also educated in the racial disparity in prison, would clearly be acting racist. |
