[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 373154, member: 57984"] I was listening to the comments from a female counselor who talked with both men and women in prison. She said that the male prisoners tend to be much more honest and matter-of-fact about the crimes they committed (at least, after the initial legal stuff is all over) while the women always maintain this disingenuous, victim-y affect of innocence -- even in their physical demeanor -- throughout their time in the slammer. It's as much in the DNA as the culture, in all likelihood. One additional irony being that women are sentenced to only about 60% of the prison time as men for the same crime and with a comparable criminal background. And that's only during the sentencing. Throughout the entire process, women are treated more gently, charged less often, and charged more leniently for the [B]same crime[/B]. We think of there being a big schism in prosecuting and sentencing between the races, black vs. white, and there is some. But it's much greater between the genders: white women are treated more leniently, black women somewhat less leniently, white males much less leniently, and black males harshest of all.
