    Women in U.S. prisons are disciplined at higher rates than men — often two to three times more often — for smaller infractions of prison rules.https://n.pr/2yFqjTr

        This is a JOKE. 93% of inmates are MALE. Men receive carceral sentences more than women FOR THE SAME OFFENSE yet note the way this issue is spun to make it seem that WOMEN ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!

        Women are underrepresented in prison 10 to 1 vs men...let's make prison more fair, by convicting more women when they commit crimes.

        Men “stand their ground” when there is no physical threat but women who kill in self defense get life or death penalty. Our criminal justice system is broken. This is an old problem that gets no attention. We still have a long way to go for equal rights & equal protection.

        Oh boo hoo. State the amount of men vs woman in prison? How about length of time for same infraction? You want equality then look at the whole goddamn system. Until then stop your bleeding bellyaching.

        This is most likely true. I’ve been to prison, I’ve been raped as a young man. Let’s get back to the glory days of the news media and be cutthroat again. #MeToo is important, reform is important, but our nation doesn’t have time for softball anymore. #DrilllTrump

        Why does no one posting #metoo say a word about Hollywoods Pedo problem? Are we forgetting to include the most defenseless victims or is their a reason they are being left out of this movement all together?

        I wasn’t aware of a massive pedo problem, but I think anyone of sane mind would denounce it as well.

        Well of course, men stepping out of line is expected, their flexing and posturing is considered just men being men. Women try that shit and they have to be put in their place right?

        Women expect they can lash out at men without consequence. That does not work out well for them on the inside.

        You haven’t made any cogent arguments. You have just vilified me, which is sadly typical behavior. If you had tried to argue facts, you might have found my mind open to persuasion. Shrieking women emotionally blackmailing Senators proves my point.

        You see that video evidence as proof of your point - I see it as proof of mine - there’s no discussion beyond that and you don’t believe what women tell you. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Facts don’t matter to you so why would I waste my time with someone who’s that level of bigot?

        Straw man much? You are deliberately and dishonestly ignoring my point. Either that or you are so out of touch you did not see the shrieking women cornering Senators in elevators and pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court.
