  1. >There are more male MPs than female MPs. This was the result of institutional sexism -> female only lists until we make the fair 50/50 split.

    >There are only 5% female prisoners, 95% male. This is due to intrinsic biological differences. Males are more prone to crime and women don’t belong in prison -> release female inmates.

    >Women are just as well suited to any job as a men. Being pregnant or being a mother is not a legitimate reason to refuse employment

    >Women are not as well suited to being prisoners as men. Being pregnant or being a mother is a legitimate reason to avoid imprisonment

    >I can see a reasonable person believe any one of those statements BUT NOT ALL at the same time!!! It simply makes no sense.

    Quoting [Rhinofishdog](https://www.reddit.com/user/Rhinofishdog/) from another thread.

  2. You better open more rooms in psych wards because that’s were many of these imprisoned women belong in the first place.

  3. Didn’t they pledge a shoplifting crackdown the other week? That happens to be the most common crime women are inside for, so presumably it will just be endless wrist slaps for female shoplifters now with no chance of ever getting a custodial sentence.

  4. Why the fuck would you ever say this, let alone do this.

    Women make up the smallest percentage of the prison population, but by virtue of being women deserve to be free?
