Isn't overrepresentation in the prison system an instance of marginalization? I often hear as cited as such regarding people of color.

you're asking me if men are a marginalized community. what do you think is the answer i'm going to give?
I'm not asking that.

I often see the fact that people of color are overrepresented in the prison system presented as an example of their marginalization. If overrepresentation in prison is an example of marginalization, then it seems contradictory to say that overrepresentation of men in prison is not a first-rate issue because they are not marginalized.

poc in prison isn't an example of marginalization it's a reflection
