Women 51%.  Yet the prison population is
overwhelmingly male.  Hence, the justice system
is institutionally sexist, neh?  Hmm.

Gender bias operates in "a stealth-like way," said biology professor Nancy Hopkins, the driving force behind the report. "Stealth-like," "subtle" and "institutionalized" biases are the kinds you needn't document or even describe. They are just there.

That’s right! It’s subtle, often invisible, but just as damaging. And if you can’t see that, well, [smirk] you just don’t get it [subtle insinuation that you are a sexist/racist].

The panel said it looked at quantitative measures of academic achievement, but refused to make its data public.

That is such a male-centric [I can invent my own words. I have to because I’m so victimized by angry white men] of thinking. We have discovered more intuitive ways of knowing. Besides, if that data was made public, it would just be misconstrued by angry white men.

Hence, the justice system is institutionally sexist, neh? Hmm.

Uhhmmm… well, oh, just don’t get it. You can’t just uniformly apply theories like that. Because, well, angry white men control power and therefore can’t be victims of sexism. Yeah, it’s just more evidence of male aggression and things…
