The crap about women wanting to be first among equals is just that, crap. It's true that some women would like that, but generalizing that to women is sloppy thinking. It sure doesn't comport with my experience, which is that women are happy in a relationship when they simply feel heard.
Yes, perjury, which is lying under oath is a federal crime:

I wasn't arguing that there are or aren't Supermax prisons for nonviolent criminals. I was saying that lying -- even under oath -- is not a crime worthy of such expensive punishment.
That said, I'd like to see some support for this claim of yours.
