Why do female criminals receive lighter sentences for the same crime than their male counterparts in the U.S.?

Answer 1

That's always been the case and always will be. You should see what women get away with in divorce court in a state like Massachusetts, it's highway robbery.

Answer 2

Because the demmo-rat judge grabs 'em by the pussy.

Answer 3

because they are prettier.....

Answer 4

They do their time better, with less violence.

Answer 5

If the judge is sexist then I would say so. Around here where I live men and women usually get about the same sentences. There are many factors that go into it however so it may seem at first glance that it is sexism but it may not be. It could be that she did something not as bad as the guy last week who got sentenced but was charged with a higher crime so she got a lower sentence. It could also have been her behavior in the whole thing. It could be many different things. She could be a first time offender while the guy last week has been let off with a slap on the wrist time and time again.

Answer 7

Because the justice system is f*cked.

Answer 8

Society is gynocentric. We advantage females in education, in job hiring, in family law, in business ownership, etc. Why should criminal sentencing be any different?

Answer 9

I haven't seen any numbers on it and don't feel like doing your homework for you but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. All sorts of things affect decisions.
Parole boards are much more lenient after lunch than before lunch.
