Male Privilege, helpfully explained by a white dude

227. Oh, for heaven's sake.

You are comparing the very worst aggravated assaults to the mildest rape cases, and pretending they are equal. We have at least one DUer who has experienced both, and she said that in her opinion, rape was worse. That doesn't automatically mean that the minimum sentence for rape should be life without parole. I live in a country with a 21-year maximum sentence, unless the risk of reoffending is so high that there's a direct and credible threat to the public if the offender is released, and even then he or she is given psychiatric treatment, and their incarceration is reassessed every 3 years. I think life without parole is ridiculous for any crime, especially with the inhumane treatment prisoners get in American jail.

And happy new year, by the way. It just turned midnight here.
