women dont face the same punishment for molesting children as men,and men get less time for raping children than they get for raping grown women,and they investigate more into white crimes before making an arrest and arresting blacks quicker with hardly any evidence

They assume certain groups of people think a certain way. Like for example, women often get more time for a murder because they think womens crime are usually premeditated. So, whether it was or not, the woman has to suffer longer for what they think was on her mind.

Please don't take this as rude or mean, but....We are all raised differently. Back during slavery, the males were often ripped away from their families, so the women had to get extra strong. So alot of them got independant to the point that a man cannot stand up to that kind of independance. Then they had babies and passed it down. Not all black women are like that, not all of any ethnic group are. But I think it started as a coping mechanism. So many women (race iregardless) now believe that the only things that last is the mother-child bond. They expect the Daddy to ditch them. So he does. Perception plays a huge part in reality. White women never had to deal with having their men ripped away from them, or their families torn apart by things they could not control. So white females never had to be as tough in a generalized way. Nowdays alot of those black women are still getting their men ripped away. But its the guy's choosing (so still no choice for the female). Between violence, drugs, gangs, prison...can you blame black women for preparing their baby girls to expect to be a single parent?! Better to face reality and hope you get a good guy, than to live with your head in the sand. I bet alot of those black women are alot better equipped than their white counterparts to raise children and survive.

We are definately NOT treated equal. And it it goes far beyond race or religion. Everyone has predujices, and their own agenda's, even judges and police.\n\nI lived in the rural South amongst the "Good'ol boys". But I'm from California. So if I was in a car accident or anything similar where I could be blamed and the "Good'ol boy" go free, I would be the one charged. The reality of it SUCKS!\n\nNothings fair anywhere, that's why we all have to fight for our rights every single day! If we don't, likely we'll elect a president that steps all over them, (Oh! we did that already) along with others that can get away with it for their own personal gain.

Yes it is, black are 13% of the population but over 50% in jail. Why? because black men are incarcerated 6x that of white men and 7x that of black women over white women. Also blacks can expect 3x long in jail. In fact I seen blacks get far longer jail time for manslaughter than a white person for murder.

Rape is not about sex. It's about violence and hatred of women and power and dominence.

As a rape survivor, I can say that I believe that women are mistreated by some men, but some men are also mistreated.  For every bad man or woman in this world, there are way more good ones.  I can attest to that fact.  Yes, we women are at a disadvantage in some points, but I would still choose to be a woman, even living through what I have lived through....Good question....:)

Easy, women are not superior to men.

Well, it is easy: If you look at the statistics, most women at the age of, say 25 have had more different sexpartners of the opposite sex then most men of the same age... so they have more experience and - if You look at it from a male perspective in a way most males think - are BETTER then the males when it comes to sex... so men have to find a way to "win the competition" after all and got used to bragging about their experiences... and making the women feel bad about theirs...

Because their entire paradigm is based on control.  They have been against every issue that would give power to any minority or group that might weaken their control like: women's and black's right to vote, child labor laws, unions, handicapped rights, the minimum wage, social security, medicare, medicaid, unemployment insurance, the list goes on forever.  The point is to keep women under control so they won't upset the cart.  Women's view of the world is definitely contrary to this paradigm and needs to be stopped.

Women have been arrested and sent to jail for spousal abuse.  You don't hear much about it because, for the most part, men are stronger than women and a woman would have to be crazy to start a physical fight with someone who can kill her with one punch.  And please, always remember, TV is not real life.  A woman slaps a man on TV to add drama and excitement to the plot, but if she slapped him in real life, it wouldn't cause any physical harm to most men.  If a man, however, hauled off and slapped a woman, his upper body strength would propel her into the next room.  And no, equal rights between men and women is another myth.  Just look at payroll statistics.

its the way of thinking only.normally women prefer marriage as source of security to their well being than sex. men differs in this aspect.

Because it's a double standard and it sucks.\n\nMaybe it comes from the fact that women take more risk in that they can get pregnant.  Some of it comes from the fact that women have only one-third of the sex hormones men have AND it's on a cyclical basis and people think women should be more restrained.\n\nWomen STILL aren't considered equal - it wasn't all that long ago that you couldn't legally rape your wife.  Society is working on it.  I'm just glad I live in America.

Because they have committed horrific crimes. They have demonstrated that they are not fit to live. There will always be issues as to who does & doesn't deserve this ultimate penalty. I think anyone who rapes and murders deserves death. Those who do this to children, I'll volunteer to throw the switch myself.

The problem lies in the victim attitude that ALL minorities have succumbed to.  They have put up with many forms of discrimination in the past, but as that is now disappearing they are grasping at straws to still remain the victim and receive their entitlements.  They don't want equal rights, they want things handed to them.  It's the liberal way.  Recently a black man at my husband's company filed a lawsuit saying he was being made to do work that white workers don't do.  The lawsuit was dismissed and he was discharged when it was proven that the white workers already knew the work he was doing and that it was part of his training.  You lose respect for a cause when it is being abused and unfortunately that is what is happening now.  Equal rights have turned into bullying and blackmail.

Not all women are innocent. Tired of people phrasing a question about rape and abuse like it's every mans fault. It's like that one bad apple makes it bad for everyone. Get a real life and ask at least half way decent questions.

Yes,I believe they should be completely the same.That sick teacher who did her 13yr old student should still be in jail.And why in he** does she still get custody of her kids?What 30yr old in their right mind would be attracted to a 13yr old kid?If it had been a man,he would probably be dead in jail now.Molestation is molestation,no matter who commits the crime.

Unfortunately it is because those laws were passed when women were thought of as objects and posessions. Rape was the woman's fault, etc. I strongly suggest writing a POM to your congressmen stating that you would like to see those laws changed. I am entirely in favor of changing them and I am entirely in favor of Jessica's Law!
