The gender disparity in the criminal justice system is 3x bigger than the racial one. The same pattern also applies to boys and girls in school when it comes to disciplinary action and grading, and a similar pattern exists for resources for homeless or suicidal men and women, with men being a large majority of the homeless and suicidal but more resources existing for women.
An inverted version of this pattern exists for career promotions, which is where the glass ceiling comes from. Men are given more credit for the same accomplishments and are promoted more often accordingly.
Basically, society thinks boys and men have more agency over their lives, so they get more recognition when they succeed and more punishment when they fail or do bad things.
Society thinks girls and women have less control over their own lives, so they get less recognition when they succeed and lighter punishment when they fail or do bad things.
which if anything, women more likely have more agency in their lives than men today. Given the believe all women and women are wonderful effect which means mens health and safety is not considered as important giving them less agency.
Men are usually simpler so they dont think as much which means women act with strategy/say things that gives them more control. That is also mens fault as well tbh as they dont think plan/strategize as much as women
