I'm English. It looks like Clinton is going to win tho. There is no system which restricts her. Attitudes might.

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.
-
Well, not against women. Could be more sympathy for female perpetrators than male victim cos of their respective genders.
-
even if this is true 95% of sexual offense arrests are men. Any leniency affects male offenders most
-
Yes, by numbers. Does this indicate systematic sexism? Numbers don't. We have a special register for sex offenders. Taken seriously

he absolutely had power to sentence an appropriate length. I'm not sure who gets off easier if anyone

@DerekGT Thought I read judge was limited to sentence he cld give Brock Turner? Or was that some1 else? Remember, I'm not American. -
nope, he was charged with 3 felonies, got 6 month sentence. Only served 3
-
I'm probably thinking of someone else then. But I am not saying sexism does not exist. Heard horrible dismissal of rape victims.
-
If a judge or someone in power has sexist attitudes which cause him to condone abuse of women, power must be taken from him.
-
the problem then lies that no one vets them and positions are sought more frequently by men. When they are caught, damage's done
-
Is it? We'd need to know this. Too many assumptions flying about.
-
I will do more research on it then.
