closing jails, firing police officers, lowering ridiculous attorney fees, and shutting down county court complexes

How will it so any of these things? People will still be arrested and prosecuted for committing crimes. Its the incarceration vs alternative actions and programs that is being discussed here. Prisons would certainly be affected, but they aren't even in your list.

While it's true that prisons could be shut. Its also true that a whole new rehabilitation industry could spring up if alternatives to long term incarceration were enacted.

You miss my point. No statistician worth his salt would ever consider these numbers relevant, Yet here it it's all over the news. Why the over compensation for women? A whole story making women out to be superior to men in some way with trash to back it up. Why? If women are capable, give them props. Don't make up stuff based on horrible data.

Thanks, it's meant to be ironic. There are only guesses all around based on a numbers with a similar ratio of 5 cases for women physicians and 700 for men. How can this be considered serious reporting? If the numbers favored men, we wouldn't be having this conversation for a number of reasons.

There is a lot of assumptions made in this article, and it's interesting that we never see publications on the superior performance of male surgeons ETC. I guess those facts would be offensive to some though.

Here is the most likely reason for this statistic. (Of you can call it that since it is objectively statistically insignificant, being that male doctors treated 150X more women overall).

The male doctors are better doctors (all factors such as age and experience being the same), and its well documented that they can handle higher stress levels and make Less emotionally influenced mistakes. So they get the tougher cases to begin with. This is a plausible of an argument as any in the article or mentioned here.

Is funny that those who fight gender biases the most are some of the most biased.
