4,000 Days-No.9

After I finished reading this book, I wonder "how would this story be changed if the main character is woman?"

First, the main character, Warren Fellows, says in the book that the life at the prison was very hard like a hell. There were not enough food, the cell was very dirty and has no human right.
But I think, if the author was woman, she would spend much better life than men. Because women is not much strong as compare as men in health. The physiological function is differ between men and women so women should be more protected in health care.

Would the author try to escape from the prison if the author is woman? I don't think so. Because man is much stronger than woman in physiological function. Man has stronger muscles than woman and in case if they have to run fast to escape, it is hard for woman. Also women is much calm than men sometimes. Women can decide in calm and can consider the possibility carefully. Also in the history, the prison breaker are mostly men.

When I studied about the drug in school before, I found the data which shows the percentage in man/ woman who takes drug. I remember that the man has much higher percentage than woman. It might not be happened if the author is a woman.

It is said that the woman has the spiritual strength that is stronger than a man. Therefore I am agreeable in your opinion.

I thought in doubt after having read your response. Is there a gender equality in the prison?

I think man and woman should be fairness in the prison. A woman does not have the right in search of a gender equality if a woman demands a kind treatment by the reason of a difference of the constitution of the body.
There is no difference in the weight of the crime between man and woman.

Though the sensitivity of the man and woman is different, before it, what is the woman in search of a gender equality ?

A woman buying a vehicle for exclusive use of the woman, a woman who takes a workshop away from a man in a pervert false accusation, and a woman labelling all things for one's sensitivity are pissed elegant.

Interesting. But I disagree with you both. I don't think a woman is any stronger or weaker than a man in terms of what Dai calls spiritual strength. That's a myth. Personally, I don't think there's such a thing as gender equality in prison. A woman in prison would get just as raw a deal as a man in prison. Prison is prison.
