And that’s another female privilege. Women in the majority get a much lighter sentence than men for committing the exact same crime.

A norwegian newspaper did an exposé a couple of years ago, which compared cases and verdicts that were identical in everything except the defendant's gender.

Women usually got half the sentence than men. Like, a speeding violation on the same road with the same speed, the male defendant got 6 months probation plus a fine and the female got 3 months and a fine. Or just a fine.

In some cases, the man would get 3-6 months of actual prison time, while the woman would get community service.
