It's also clear that the worst of her abuse was sourced to men.(power wins most of the time).   We completely agree that our system of incarceration doesn't work very well for either gender.    

Civil rights should be equal for all genders, but to say all genders share the same psyche or face the same social environment would be looking past the unique challenges that each face.    And of course, even within a single gender, you find wide variations of strengths, preferences, values, sexuality, spirituality, education  .................

I think we agree that stereotyping gender traits leads to bias, prejudice and eventually discrimination.
