If there were as many women in prison as men you can be sure there would be as many or more men interested in them.

Can I be sure? How? There are plenty of women in prison as-is, although high profile cases are rarer.

Relatively speaking there aren't plenty of women in prison for violent crimes. It's about a 9:1 ratio. Men obsessively sexualise everything in our patriarchal society.

Sure... There are so many things wrong with this that I don't know where to begin.

Well, that's how I felt about your initial comment so we're even.

You've been downvoted into grey-blivion because that claim is wrong. It is an example of the underlying supposition that the behaviour of men and women is identical. This runs counter to the findings of psychology and sociology.

No, it isn't. You've read something into it that wasn't there. You've also missed the point I made about speaking within the context of a patriarchy.

> This runs counter to the findings of psychology and sociology.

Let's both note that neither psychologists nor sociologists can work with non-socialised people who won't reflect back society's norms.

> You've been downvoted into grey-blivion because that claim is wrong.

For the record, I received one downvote.


What a deflection, we had a good laugh. You're still wrong with comment '784.
