Are sexist laws the cause of mass incarceration of men in the US (and in other countries)?
- debacle 11y agoNo, but the legal system does have a sexist slant to it.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoWhy not both (or all 4)? There are laws with racist and sexist underlying reasoning and disparate impacts and the legal system does have a racist and sexist slant to it. There are also decently fair laws that are broken at unequal rates due to sexual and racial differences in society (those differences themselves often caused by social racism and sexism).
