Relative to women's strength in earier times, yes, much is still patriarchal in capitalist structures. You should know this.

Men have some lesser biological disadvantages & different social pressures - be strong, be successful, less time with children etc
-
there are also people like Brock Turner that are acquitted of rape or get light sentences by real sexist judges
-
Did the judge have power 2 give a longer sentence?Is it not a fact that the people who get off most lightly re sex crime are women?
-
Again, we need rigorous examination. Ppl just look at acquittal rates and see sexism.
-
you can also just listen to the judge's statement. He was more concerned with Brock than the victim.

@DerekGT You can certainly criticise attitudes but is it always sexism? Judge far too concerned for these 2. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3749757/Paedophile-sisters-abused-six-year-old-boy-repeatedly-molested-14-years-SPARED-jail-deaf.html … -
maybe it is just that rape inspires some sick sympathy. Either way it's despicable. Perhaps not evidence of ptrchy in that case.

Its not patriarchy anyway coz there isn't a law which gives men more right to rape than women. Could be sexism but it is? Not here.
