The Guardian - against equality apparently

Oh dear, GenderEquality can be so alarming when it means women also have to assume accountability will apply

Free them all

That reminds me, may be time for a good female prison movie.

Equal treatment under the law comes with a price.

Not surprised

As a white middle aged man, can I take it that I am to blame for this in some way?

Equality’s a bitch eh?

Again women as victims - even when they are criminals. Btw that is a global figure. Over 90% of prisoners are male.

only gonna get worse...people gotta eat don't they?

Women in these times want to be men and treated as men... The adage if you can't do the time

The prison population should not be the story. The crimes that put the criminals in prison SHOULD be the story. Why have crimes committed by women skyrocketed in the past decade?
