It seems to me arguable that one difference is women make better criminals. Take a look at this BBC report of a parliamentary debate:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59421259.
Reading between the lines, girls had few goodie-type role models on't telly until recently: Nick Fletcher MP said "female replacements" in shows like Doctor Who were robbing boys of good role models. The only characters [boys now have] to look up to [are] gangsters - the Krays and Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders, he said. "Is there any wonder we are seeing so many young men committing crime?," he told MPs taking part in a debate on International Men's Day.
And yet... 96% of people in prison are men and boys!! So what happened to all the female criminals, who turned to crime in the absence, until recently, of a positive role model? Have they been released - or did they avoid getting caught in the first place?

Who does like getting caught when they have done something wrong however small a misdemeanour.
The majority of women are obviously more sensible and are more or less honest while a few men suffer from bravado and think the law does not matter where easy money is concerned. The men are not clever enough so get caught while the female criminal is more crafty and points the finger at the men.

What is interesting
When a lady offends she gets found guiity
But doesn't get penalised because she may have a child
Whilst it's not the child's fault
The lady knows consequences of offending

This reminds me of those silly women MPs who think they should be able to take their babies into Parliament. Being an MP is a job and it is an exceptional employer who allows a baby into the workplace, let these women find childcare like everyone else or stay at home.

Does that mean you think that because a MP is a woman she should be allowed to take her baby into her workplace and possibly disrupt an important speech when it starts crying, something some very noisy babies do a lot.

How stupid some people can be .If you want to be a MP ,or Councillor and you have a child you don’t take it to work.I recall the lady who stood for Dover last time always baby being carted around .Some times I think there are too many people campaigning for this or other.Babies should not be allowed in a work place.Can you imagine being a nurse taking baby into a busy ward.Being served at Tesco with a lady having a baby strapped to her chest .Come off it you politically correct t people.

Well my little sister used to bang her highchair and generally hold court. Never understood a word, but we were surprised when she didn't grow up to be a union leader.

When you read this item by the self important Stella Creasy in the Guardian it helps me understand why Labour are not in power, especially the following quote. "Consequently, I found myself
high on morphine speaking to ministers about Afghanistan, having just given birth to my second child, to ensure my constituents’ concerns could be heard."

I wonder how many of her constituents actually give a sh1t about Afghanistan.
