Why we should close women's prisons and treat their crimes more fairly

Article by The Guardian.

TIL some people think we should get rid of women's prisons because they don't commit crimes as often as men so obviously no woman can do wrong.

This is regressive feminism right here.

^ ....... Is this article serious? Never mind the fact that women already usually receive lesser sentences for the same crimes as men. Never mind the fact that many of the problems in women's prisons are existent in male prisons. Yes women commit less crimes than men. Saying as such isn't sexist. It's just a fact. And yes, women often commit crimes of a different variety than men. The prison system is broken for both men and women, and something needs to be done about it. But giving women preferential treatment isn't the answer. If a woman commits the same type of crime as a man, it's only fair she receives the same type of punishment. The issue isn't imprisoning women when they commit crimes. The issue is that the prison system is utterly broken. Some issues are unique to men, and some are unique to women. Some are just inherent in the prison system in general. But acting as if women never commit any wrongdoing is the wrong way to go about it.

Why can't people just be nice and caring and show affection to each other and not destroy anything?

Imagine a world of death and decay. Imagine a world where chaos reigns. Such a world would make life.... interesting.

I'm tired of fighting for things most everyone else just gets. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm so tired.
