Do you not think the right to genital integrity counts? Or the longer prison sentences for same crime? Violent & sexual crime against women being taken much more seriously?

Men commit a lot more crimes, which is why they tend to get higher sentences.

Imprisonment is a pretty crude instrument in all cases, but the record would appear to be that men are imprisoned more because they are more willing to break the law. Can’t really comment on specific sentencing.
