I read a headline the other day, something about the Liberal Democrat leader calling for a reduction of women in jail, and it made me wonder about how many women were in jail, and how many women were in the boardroom.
According to the statistics I have at hand approximately 22% of senior management positions in the UK are held by women, and only 4% of the prison population is female.
Surely, by the holy laws of equality 22% of prisoners should be women.
Ideally, sentences should be adjusted in favour of more jail sentences for women, until the prison population is 50-50, female - male.
Surely, it is unfair that more women are not allowed to experience jail simply because criminality is perceived to be a male attribute.
It is time that women were free to be criminals, free from the patriarchal tutelage of the capitalist state, free from the degrading sub-human label of Victim.
Go on girls, smash the glass ceiling, smash a window and take on the fully human mantle of the Criminal!
