We have a society in which both sexes have access to everything but men & women face different disadvantages socially.

Women have disadvantages due to pregnancy & being weaker physically & some pressures re: motherhood, appearance, sexuality etc

Men have some lesser biological disadvantages & different social pressures - be strong, be successful, less time with children etc

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.
