Judicial Chivalry

Mike from Men's News Daily wrote an editorial related to what I like to call "judicial chivalry," or how women often get shorter sentences than men for the same crime, because they're women. Mike's article discusses how feminists have tried to turn the concept on its head, claiming that women are punished more severely for committing crimes, since criminal behavior is seen as a male realm. He ends the essay with an encouraging anecdote of a judge who saw through this issue and refused to be apologetic about sentencing a woman who had nine children.
