Do you think that men and women are punished the same for the same crimes?

Answer #1

I think for certain crimes they may get the same punishment like on real bad crimes, but the less severe the more leanioncy the woman gets

Answer #2

It all depends on the judge. While we’d love to think the judicial system is fair - it isnt. Women do get off with less harsh scentences most of the time if its a male judge. Its not just women though, celebrities get off easier, wealthy people have less harsh scentences than poor people, in some places a white man will do less time than a black man, etc.

Answer #3

Well as much as we would like to think this world is fair, I have to say everyone has prejudice toward something. It could be race, sex, status, lifestyle, etc. That is the way the world has been and is going to be. I would like to think that judgment has a blind eye to this, but I did not grow up under a rock.
