"Prison - a cruel and unusual punishment for a woman"

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2008-07-01 11:36

The good news: The UK government's plan to close down all women's prisons has been rejected due to popular opinion.

Aging celebrity Joan Bakewell, ex-mistress of Harold Pinter, is not happy about this. In this article, she attempts to tug at our heart-strings to make us feel sympathy for female criminals, but not male ones. "Prison is hard for women". Isn't that the idea? If you can't do the time, don't do the crime...

As a 1970s feminist, she openly preaches double-standards. Get this:

"Prison is certainly not one of the places where women aspire to equal treatment."

is that women like this still get the kid's glove treatment in the msm
when they spout that old worn out hatred of men and the "women good man bad" crap.

the good news is that most people commenting didn't take too
kindly to her opinions.

imho a lot of people appear to be waking up to what is really the
root cause of the problems all our societies are having.
seems to me a lot of the problems will heal by themselves once this crazy bunch gets
their arses kicked to the curb.

i want to apologise to all women because i really didn't know that women were born more special than anybody else.
silly me.

wonder what part of the Scriptures God said that in? didn't catch it.
it MUST be there somewhere the way the church sermons constantly reflect
that way of thinking. lot less men there too.

The proposal to turn women's prisons into community centers with day care has a very sexist undercurrent - that "women need to be close to their children" while it matters not where you lock up the daddies.

The other sexist idea that is put forward is that most women are only coerced into crime by men, usually during a relationship with a thief or drug dealer. Which is to say, women are infants who can't make choices responsibly.

If you study it, what is proposed is to treat women criminals like juveniles, not adults.

Really, why bother to prosecute women at all? There are plenty of deadbeat dads that could be accommodated in women's prisons if the females were let go...

I can't believe anti-male garbage like this is allowed to circulate. It's funny how everything is always blamed on men, yet if all men died today, the world would be screwed over. This stupid article and the proposal reminds me of lyrics I wrote in a song:

Wanna hear about a law that's just absurd?
Imagine being freed from prison just cause you're a girl
While the men are left there to rot
'Cause they were born male and they don't got a twat
People who think up laws like this should be shot
Cater to half, the other half's forgot
Think you can pull a stunt like this and not be caught?
Some succeeded in the past, thus I'm distraught.

The article mentions the emotional distress caused by being separated from one's children. Well, guess what? Men go through that too when they go to prison. The difference is no one has any sympathy whatsoever for them, even if they're not guilty of the crime they were convicted of, which is usually the case in at least half of rape charges. I have one thing to say to women who can't handle prison: Don't do the crime, if you can't handle doing time.
