In an ideal world where people don’t get falsely charged with crimes from time to time you could rationalize extremely harsh punishments. We do not live in that kind of world unfortunately

Yk, I would’ve expected them to be a bit more even as men tend to be more physical resulting in men being ok with harsher punishments. I’d be curious to know if women are actually harsher or if it’s because of the subject matter

If you want my two cents, it’s the subject matter. Very few women are rapists, compared to 4-16% of college men according to self-reported anonymous surveys. About a quarter of women get raped at some point. Only 3% of rapists face consequences. My guess is that women are angrier about rape than the average man because it affects them more directly.

I believe one of the guys commented concerns about false accusations and convictions, which do happen. Men are more likely to be suspected and accused than women, so it’s reasonable for them to imagine a situation where they are falsely accused. Rapists further complicate the issue by claiming false accusation, turning every case into a question of credibility and creating the illusion of common false accusations.
