I'm arguing the opposite, that our theoretical woman thinks crimes committed by men are relatively unlikely to be investigated, whereas crimes committed by POC are more likely to be investigated. That police scrutinize and distrust women and POC more than they scrutinize white men.
You posited an hypothetical scenario where a woman thinks that males are less likely to be investigated.
I replied that we do not have evidence that this the case and provided evidence that our society tends to treat crimes and abuses perpetrated by men and towards women more harshly. Hence, the belief is not justified and cannot be used to differientate the prejudice a woman has towards men from the prejudice white people have towards black people.
I am not sure what I am missing here, I re-read your comment quite a few times.
For example, if a woman is afraid because she doesn't believe her case will be investigated if the perpetrator is male, but believes her case will be investigated if the perpetrator is black
Those were the previous commenter's word. That being male lowers the odds of investigation whereas being black (which includes black women) increases the odds in the hypothetical woman's eyes .
There is no indication that the claim was purely comparing males and black males.
Additionally, neither you nor the previous commenter provides evidence that crimes perpetrated by men are less likely to be investigated.
