Feminism is "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. Feminist basic goals are consciousness raising about oppression, wage, and labor fairness. More representation in politics/legislation and social equality. However, much is not discussed when it relates to sentencing disparities amongst men and women. Both genders can be charged with similar or the exact crime. However when sentenced, men are given longer prison sentences than a woman. Why is there still disparities in sentencing amongst genders? What drives judges to be more lenient towards women as opposed to men?
