Yeah that's what I'm on about. I don't like how it sets up gendered sentencing guidelines at all let alone doing so in a way that doesn't create any practical benefit by being gendered. The argument could just as easily be made in a non-sexist way by applying it to all non-violent offenders and to be honest I'd probably agree with it. Do they think that children can shrug off a father in prison like it's nothing?
The idea that under the Greens I'd be sent to prison for the configuration of my genitals rather than the severity of my crime is just abhorrent, in the same way I think the way women are often ignored and mistreated by the justice system is abhorrent. It's a real shame because I'd really like to vote for them, but it would mean compromising my core value that everybody should be equal under the law. We did not become a secular society only to immediately burden part of it with original sin again.
