incredibly insightful but ultimately i feel i still land on heavy prison reformation and de-commercialisation of prisons rather than abolishing them because some people (ie: serial killers/rapists) are just bad people and no amount of fixing society will change that.
there will always be men out there who do not view women as equal and like i said in one of my quotes, misogyny is so deeply ingrained into our society i dont think we could ever fully remove it
