We’ve been submitting Freedom of Information requests to various government departments, as part of our work developing the election manifesto. Yesterday we received this response to a FoI request we sent to the Ministry of Justice. Parts have been redacted by us because they’re not relevant to the issue being covered here, and we’ve emphasised some key points by highlighting them in yellow.
Primary legislation is seldom created with pro-female and anti-male biases. That would be too obvious. In the case of the ‘justice’ system the biases are introduced in a number of ways, including:
1. Not charging women with crimes, when it’s deemed not in the ‘public interest’. Not one British woman has ever been convicted of paternity fraud.
2. The inclination of (mostly male) judges and magistrates to exercise their discretion and show inappropriate leniency towards women, often to the point of not punishing them at all, as we’ve reported in numerous cases on this blog. A small example – a barmaid convicted of stealing £3,000 from her employer was ‘punished’ by being required to pay back just £500.
3. Women with ‘primary carer status’ – with respect to children and/or others – are treated particularly leniently. Instead of being given custodial sentences, they’re typically given suspended sentences, which are no punishment at all. This saves the state from funding alternative accommodation and care for their children and/or others, which could otherwise be very costly – quite apart from the cost of funding prison places for all these women. Whatever else this is, it isn’t justice, and it explains in part why 95% of prisoners in the UK are male.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Interesting. I can’t recall the MOJ admitting that women commit most child abuse before (though the fact is shown by the crime surveys, of course).

Re #3, if the state bothered to contact the Father – perhaps they’d be able to punish the criminal mother AND give Dad some real, quality time with his child AND save [tax-]money in the process.
What a radical idea.. treating women as men’s equals could do a lot of good. It’s so bizarre that feminists, who claim to seek equality, are always so quiet on this topic and many go as far as to defend this inequality.
Anyone might be inclined to think feminists don’t actually want equality.

this is the perfect example of what is wrong with the system,and more specifically the current culture,if I may..
The reluctance by the ‘justice’ system and by most male judges to ‘properly’ punish a female criminal is a mirror image of the gentleman unwilling to treat a woman in the same,strict manner as he would treat a man. The problem with this scenario is that the gentleman’s code of conduct had developed in a society in which women almost exclusively stayed at home,were married to men and were raising their children. If you consider today’s situation,where women compete against men in education,work,government,etc.you must realize that continuing with such tradition-preferential treatment, is no longer acceptable,as in the current society it results in men not being able to hold a family,being discriminated against in the workplace,the education system and even by the courts. As hard as it is to accept,men’s attitudes towards women are in urgent need of adjustment,one in which the endless leniency and perks towards women can no longer be granted. If men want justice and fairness,that is.

This double-standard needs to change, for everyone’s sake.

In response to ‘Antimisandry’. You are right.The last thing feminists want is GENUINE equality.Yes they want equal pay,but even when they are less efficient,work shorter hours,do not innovate,do not have any dress-code,,start majority of lawsuits in companies,etc…,Equality is what they trumpet to the whole world,but behind the scences they fight hard to get a better deal than men across the board! Every aspect you examine,you find women have a better deal. Start with family matters…go to justice system sentencing…look at ‘positive’ discrimination…check out affirmative action…look at sick leave taken -by gender….look at preferential University acceptance by gender….prostitutes have been turned to innocent exploited saints (never mind they drive Jaguars and BMWs)…look at homelessness by gender…look at suicide rates by gender. In other words,the western world has made a complete fool out of every man, But it is every man’s fault to continue giving women gentlemanly (preferential and lenient) treatment,because treating women in this manners is the very catalyst for the rest of society to do likewise. So if you REALLY want to make the society just and equal,do not allow women to walk through the door first,do not believe that women have some automatic right to get children ahead of you during divorce,do not believe that women deserve more sickleave,do not accept that women wear whatever they please in office,do not buy the argument that women are sacrosanct. If you ‘buy’ all of these notions,then you really do not deserve equality in the society you live in.In fact,you deserve to be ridiculed and a second class citizen,which as a man you are right now.
Max.

There is perfect example of this leniency to a woman child abuser in case on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-29039330
Thankfully an appeal overturned the ridiculous suspended sentence.
