Privilege: Women vs Men

Stephen Hicks recently made a blog post about the rates of incarceration for males and females in the USA. Given the data, he then asked:

1. Do males collectively commit 14 times the number of crimes as females?
2. If so, do the statistics show a rough fairness in the justice system?
3. If so, why do males commit many more crimes? How much of it is due to biology, how much to socialization, how much to lifestyle choices?
4. Why do males receive 12% longer sentences?
5. What do these stats imply for our current “male privilege” debates?

This made me remember of the video On White Sprinters & Female CEOs by HumanityBites (Re-Upload), which right at the beginning says that something very similar goes on in the UK.


This video also talks about the glass ceiling hypothesis, which apparently is still alive and kicking, despite very good contrary arguments, like the ones presented in the video.

One could definitely say that male privilege is greatly overblown, but when discussing this so much, I wonder if everyone's just falling into the same trap that the opposite side are.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, should males be argumentative or should they just be more patient?

i want to know why male whores make so much less than female whores....yet there are incessant complaints about how women make so much more than men.

additionally...i demand clothing stores remove 98% of their womens clothing selection to make the selection equitable with the mens clothing availability.
