The justice system discriminates more against subordinate men than subordinate women

Evidence

Since there is overwhelming evidence that intergroup aggression is primarily a male enterprise, there is also reason to expect that arbitrary-set aggression is primarily directed at outgroup males rather than outgroup females. If we regard normal forms of intergroup discrimination as mild forms of intergroup aggression, there is then also reason to suspect that it will be primarily males rather than females who are the targets of this arbitrary-set discrimination. We label this thesis as the subordinate-male target hypothesis. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 3236 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
