There is a huge disparity in the crimes for which men are charged (and then also for which they are convicted). I don't have a citation for the statistics offhand, but from my work in drug policy, I can tell you that men and women (in the aggregate) are convicted of very different drug crimes. Put another way, if you went to a men's prison and a women's prison and took a random survey just of the inmates who are serving time due to drug-related crimes, you'd end up with very different cross-sections.
