RE: Female Privilege and Sexism
I wasn't necessarily looking at it from the victims point of view, more so the judicial aspect I guess. When I see that the punishment for the same crime can differ whether you are a minority vs a white man, that is often described as white privilege. Shouldn't it also be female privilege if they are sentenced less often/to less time for the same crimes that men commit? You definitely seem more knowledgeable than I am on the topic so I am honestly asking, I do enjoy the discussion.
I would call that gender disparity.
I'm sure some would say that is a prime example of privilege, but what it makes me question, why are we receiving different treatment to begin with? It implies that women are less accountable (which is a sexist assumption in itself).
