If they are so law-abiding they would not end up in prison dumb-bitch author.

She can't handle real equality. She uses children as a excuse to free criminal women from prison, exempt them from normal justice with according punishments. Again children are used as shields for women to get what they want such as with "family court" (Divorce Corporations) to extort a unreasonably large amount of money from fathers without rights. She wants another Pussy Pass, double standard, female-privilige which is NOT in line with equal treatment of all humans.

"It's hard to imagine another arena of public life where the difference between men and women is as marked as it among prisoners. Women are not, on the whole, members of the criminal classes. They are basically law-abiding. "

I think a system should be developed for wimin in sentencing for crimes where if the wimin gets say life for murder they should hang the judge instead cause gaol is not where wimin criminal want ta be

Jailing mothers for trivial offences is harsh on them and their children.

It's exactly the same for fathers in the same circumstances, yet men still go to jail.

Where would feminists and women be without the ubiquitous pussy pass and hiding behind children? Answer: In the same place as men!

Quote:

But the Government has lost its nerve on reform

No, the government has lost it's nerve on punishing women "equally" to men. That loss of governmental nerve has created a two-tier system of law and punishment based on gender.

If such a proposed 'reform' is only benefitted by women, then that in itself by definition is in need of reform.

The hypocrisy never ends!

This is the same bitter feminist, who, on a political programme when discussing boys underachieving in schools and universities, said to David Frost, with a contorted seething grimace etched on her face, "good, I don't care about that, girls are taking over, it's our turn now."

Isn't it disturbing and indicative how so many feminists have now extended their misandric war on men to include even mere boys. Is this not one of the most grotesque examples of modern feminisms moral vacuum?

It's amazing how feminists flip flop from stating there are no differences between the sexes, as it's a social construct. To then when it suits them, citing gender differences as a reason for preferential treatment.

In the feminist mind women are equal or better :-)

I believe they think they are superior..

But that women that cut the child from the womb the other day in America doesn't deserve jail, she only deserves therapy..

She was the victim.

I got a couple of lines in and just couldn't read anymore. It is the same old bullshit. Men = Bad, Women = Good. If women didn't deserve prison there would be no female crime at all!

The fact that women do commit crime shows they aren't all sweetness and light and using the fact that they have kids is a poor argument.

Thanks to feminism, if a woman goes to jail, she can shower in front of male officers. Everything she's been taught about male oppression is now going to come from "bull daggers" (a term of prison origin).

I for one am all for prison reform. I think the system is inhuman and makes people become more animalistic than they were before.

But prison is harder on women than it is on men? What a load of bullshit! When was the last time you heard of a woman being raped by her inmates? (Physiologically impossible).

I don't believe anyone deserves to raped. I'm for prison reform in the sense that all inmates should be protected against assault. You don't need to be assaulted to not want to go to prison.

But this dumb feminist author probably thinks its personally fine that men who are in for not paying enough taxes get raped and possibly killed by their inmates, because its only bad if it happens to a woman.

Can anybody tell me whether this woman is actually being taken seriously? I mean for real. She makes the all too predictable assertion that it is more psychologically traumatic to women and children to be separated then it is for men and children to be separated. This whole passionate relationship between mother and child is oversold and it's total pokery. The fact that a man goes through an equal amount of turmoil (unless he is a psychopath which many inmates, both men and women to equal portions, are) when he is separated from his family is totally ignored
This is creating a hyper privileged status for women and it is NOT EQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW. Penal systems are here for a reason, to deter crime. And to treat one group of people differently based on any criteria makes them less deterred. But of course, men are to blame for all women getting in trouble with the law so you can throw that idea out the window.

Correction:
In the feminist mind women are superior in every way and do not deserver to pay any consequences for their actions or be accountable in any way when they do something irresponsible or pathologicaly wrong. Men are put on this earth to take the blame for everything.

"Jailing mothers for trivial offences is harsh on them and their children..."

Yes, tapping the father's availability would be cruel to the child. Having to spend that time with dad instead of mom would cause irreparable harm, mental distress and irreversable damage to self-esteem. Don't even THINK about involving the father in such a FAMILY matter between woman and child!

Holding a woman equally responsible for their criminal actions, as you would a man, would similarly be harmful to the child. Doing so would be sexist!

/sarcasm

So what are they doing in prison then?

So we pick and choose which bits of "equality" we like then?

So we do this without any help whatsoever from men then?

36% is "most"? Not at the school I went to. And oh the tired old excuse "a big bad man made me do it"

Great, we live in a society that doesn't want to hold women responsible for their own actions. What about all the violent female offenders, murderers and such? Just let them live in a nice cosy "family unit" with their children, and this won't be detrimental to the children? Please!

It all boils down to the old saying "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime" and if these "ladies" don't want to be separated from their families by being imprisoned there is a reasonably simple answer. Stop committing crimes!

People should be punished for their crimes, be they male or female. It saddens me to live in a society that women can basically behave in any manner they see fit without having to face the same consequences that a man would.

Democracy can never be upheld when one group so influences the determination of another.

Let's go with her demented logic for a minute, let's agree that the only reason the vast majority of female prisoners are imprisoned is because men are pushing them into crime, let's agree that women are so naive, innocent and "law abiding", that they are easily pushed into committing crimes by men. Wouldn't that then mean, going on that logic, that if women are not to be imprisoned for their, sorry, their male partner's crimes, then more and more of these vulnerable, innocent, sweet naive women will be pushed into crime by their men, since they'll be guaranteed to avoid prison?
So in a way, the less women are punished, the more crime they'll commit, or be forced to commit by men.

I don't go with this demented logic, I only need to peek out my window from Thursday through to Sunday to witness many women who need to be locked up, whether it be for causing trouble, starting fights, fighting, or just generally being so repulsive, that it would benefit society to throw their arses in a jail cell.
