When England had the death penalty for stealing, this resulted in very few shopkeepers reporting theft. Didn't want it on their conscience.

'Community justice' tended to happen instead. Authorities knew this & it didn't bother them. Peace was the aim rather than justice.

If we actually want justice, punishments need to be proportionate or ppl won't call on the justice system. Seems even kids feel this.

Its a fact. It may well be something that we need to get over but human desire for retribution is not archaic but innate.

It's not the gendered part but the fact it's directed at a female. They would have no issue with coward/sleaze as they are male.
