<div>There has been a lot of comment on SPN recently about the wiles of women and how careful men have to be. One third of the DG is dedicated to this topic and it has been used as a reason to malign women and treat them as inferior citizens. 'Educating' only one group about the bad points of the oppposite gender is gender discrimination at its highest and flies against the obejctives of Guru Nanak Dev ji and the other Gurus when they supported women and counteracted such arguments. Once again, there is a need for balance in the issue. I wish to use hard facts and research to show this attitude has no realistic basis. The wiles of women is a way for a patriarchal society to justify the suppression of women. The original papers are attached as PDFs for interested persons.

"Criminologists agree that the gender gap in crime is universal: Women are always and everywhere less likely than men to commit criminal acts."
"females participate in substantially less violent crime than males during the course of their criminal careers"

"Nowhere is the gender ratio more skewed than in the great disparity of males as offenders and females as victims of sexual and domestic abuse."
"The role of inequality may be seen in career paths of female teens who drift into criminality as a consequence of running away from sexual and physical abuse at home."
