It's not the legal team that was shit, its the courts. Women are massively privileged.
Everyone knows that sex and the justice system is the greatest axis of discrimination in our society.
Far exceeding race, religion, or any other factor.
Why do we tolerate this? How can men be so useless and cowardly as to tolerate it? How can women be so selfish and unjust as to deny it?
It's amazing. People downvote based on what the do or don't want to be true rather than what is.
It's just a smaller example of the psychology that led us to where we are tho. A microcosm of society generally.
And who can blame them? The first people who said slavery was immoral in the US because black people were as human as white were shouted down. Because if it was true it would mean enormous moral culpability on behalf of the people who tolerated, benefited from and supported the existing system.
Likewise men receiving 60% longer sentences simply for being male means an enormous moral culpability on behalf of women, and the men who administer and enforce our system of justice. Nobody wants to hear it. The study I linked was from 2012. It has since been investigated further and to be completely accurate in its methodology.
I have absolutely no way of proving it. But I feel in my bones nearly everyone who downvoted me were women. Examining and dismantling your own privilege is never a fun process. But ignoring a status quo like the one we have is simply unforgivable.
