I also agree that prison sentences should be equal.

I was reading a sociological study about people's attitudes to "female sex offenders", I can't remember if that particular one found anything significant, but they were mentioning how in the media, reactions to female sex offenders are often either very negative, or very positive (that one might sound strange, but it refers to a case of a teacher jailed for sexual assault of a pupil, and the newspaper article was describing it as an "affair" with the pupil, insinuating that it's not really something to be jailed for). That kind of talk is something that would not happen if the perpetrator was male.
