It's not zero sum. "Some 74 per cent of the 114,000 convictions for licence fee dodging in 2019 were for women" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/decriminalising-tv-licence-plans-changed-government-b1792420.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/decriminalis... TV licence prosecutions are more than 1 in 10 UK court cases https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/10256679/TV-licence-offences-account-for-one-in-ten-UK-court-cases.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/10256679/...
