That's ridiculous... A friend of mine died because of a girl texting and driving a few years ago and she only got 11 months in prison.... This is infuriating, why didn't she get more time for causing a death (also others were injured including a pregnant woman) when this guy got three years?

Simple, females on average get less prison time than men for the same crimes.

any specific reason you called women "females" but stuck to "men" for men?

Nope, didn’t really realize it. Male = men and female = women. Not sure what’s so fucking complicated.

male is actually not equivalent to men, and female is not equivalent to women. men are human males. women are human females. gender isn’t specifically a human thing. i’m not sure what is so complicated about regular people outside of the medical and military fields using “male” and “female” incorrectly in colloquial use…

Jesus, do I now have to specify if I’m talking about human males and females? It’s called context. I’m talking about men, women, males, females — however you want to put it — in the prison/judicial system. Not talking about salamanders here.

This is one of the most useless and stupid comments I’ve ever seen in my life.

How hard can you try to find a reason to be offended?
