This sounds like apples v. oranges. Are males a minority group? No, technically not, since sex split is about 50/50. Is the high preponderance of men ending up in prison concerning? Yes. Frankly our high incarceration rates for non-violent crimes is extremely concerning. Does this somehow invalidate the problems brought up around female equality? Absolutely not. I also believe there is probably additional negative bias towards African-American males because of racist tropes. Also the 99% figure was from the Innocence Project, Google brings up Federal Bureau of Prisons stat suggesting active incarceration is closer to 93% male, 7% female. Still concerning. |
