Overpunishment
Women and people of color being overpunished for their mistakes. Certainly we all make mistakes, but being punished equally for them is important.
examples:
- Anita Hill
- Vanessa Williams
- Monica Lewinsky, etc.
- See other examples in You’re Wrong About podcast
- There’s also the example from the NBA of the brawl at the Palace where the NBA overpunished the players while all of the drunk individual participants were given a slap on the wrist from the courts. This is discussed at the end of the documentary Untold: Malice at the Palace.
