    (Just a quick disclaimer. I am vehemently opposed to prison and think we would be better off getting rid of it and actually helping people.)

    It never ceases to baffle me the amount of gender-based double standards or shitty sexist society has. If a guy did this we would get a life sentence (likely without parole). And a death sentence in a death penalty state. But, because the person that did this is female, she doesn’t get a life sentence or death penalty, she gets the luxury of getting to walk out of prison after a time of serving a sentence (just to be clear. I don’t think any prison time is ever justified or ethical. But that’s not the point. The point is to call out our misandrist society. I hope one day Equality might actually be a thing, thought it will likely be long after my lifetime.

    • You need to make up your mind Josh. No prison for anyone or “same” prison sentences for everyone, which is it? Else your comment looks just like bait. Totally against prison, lol
