What's interesting about this new study is that it seems to focus just on gender and dives into it a bit deeper. What's also interesting is that it appears as if it's a far bigger penalty to be male than it is to be black or any other minority group when it comes to incarceration.

Yes, definitely another prime example of male privilege in action.
