Also, I think it’s about time that we looked into the differences between sentencings and conditions between male and female prisoners no? I mean, if some men are so desperate that they ‘pretend’ to be women to get an easier ride in the justice system, doesn’t that speak to something that should be looked at?

The bottom paragraph is a strong point imo.

We're meant to be living in an equal society, yet things like prison sentences shows that we're not.

In fairness women obviously have it worse in other areas than men, but I just wish for true equality for both genders in the areas where it's possible to achieve it, starting with criminal activity.
