Did you see the same thing I saw? Cause you can filter by age by hitting the hamburger menu icon and there were 2000+ females returned under 30 years old that I didn’t have the heart to verify scrolling through the mugshots, it really gutted me and made it painful to see this blatant miscarriage of Justice.

Everyone please go and try out the age filter, it is frightening and highly effective in humanizing the plight of these people to say the absolute least. Something needs to be done for these oppressed humans.

I didn't look too deeply, as I said.
Maybe you should spend half a minutes checking to see if what you are suggestion is supported by available data before starting a conversation about it
sva_ is right and you're wrong. 273 of 2884 pictures show women under 30, the vast majority are men. Note that the "of 2884" doesn't change when you modify the filter settings. I didn't measure whether it took me more than half a minute to figure that out.
"you’re wrong"? -- I didn't make any assertions.

But thanks for contributing some actual information; that is exactly what I was suggesting should be the minimum bar to contribute to such a conversation.

> I didn't make any assertions.

You made the (wrong) assertion that I checked the archive for less than "half a minute".

In fact I did check the "actual information" for more than "half a minute", and reported on my findings from that. Further analysis proved my hypothesis to be true.

I even added a disclaimer that I did not check all the data.
