Women tend to be harsher judges than men. Evidence against Andrews’ argument that feminisation threatens the rule of law, or in favour (as females are stricter with a greater number of female colleagues)? Although females are generally the more empathetic half of our species, this translates into more rigid adherence to moral and legal norms, with less sympathy for violators, in this case. These results demonstrate why I'm sceptical of the claim that feminism is to blame for much of society's ills: its effects are indeterminate and hard to predict ex-ante.
