#3This will go the way of many of the other articles highlighting the overcorrection of “gender fairness” and will be off the front page by tomorrow (figuratively. Literally, it will never even make it there) . Shame really. Too bad, if it was inline with a feminist agenda it would have had a chance.

#4I don't normally complain about submissions but I believe that this is inappropriate/off topic for HN

#5If you actually read the article and the many citations, it’s a strong data-based approach. If you only read the title or skim, or just react emotionally then it could hit you the wrong way. All of which is to say that this is an important issue, it’s presented well and with sensitivity, and it’s just the kind of thought-provoking article called for in the guidelines.
That it’s already flagged off the front page is a credit to no one.

From the HN guidelines:
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it.

#8I don't normally complain about submissions but I believe that this is inappropriate/off topic for HN
Please provide reasoning as to why if you are going to claim that this article is not appropriate for HN.
I did not see anything in it that would be a red flag.

#9In b4 "Men's Rights"...
One thesis you could take is that the US, with the largest incarcerated population in the history of the world, could stand to be a little bit less harsh in their sentencing.

#10I don't know how to communicate this, or even if it is possible. But the question of justice has concerned me greatly of late.
And I say to any creature who may be listening, there can be no justice so long as laws are absolute. Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions.
