Unpopular opinion thought experiment

Why didn't anyone complain that Stop & Frisk overwhelmingly targeted men over women regardless of race?


EDIT: For the uninitiated: Because men commit the vast majority of street crime (violent or otherwise). I doubt many people are going to dispute that targeting the group that causes most of the crime is comment sense, not the result of some "institutionalized" bias toward men.

Most of the street crime in NYC is committed by one group...

(2 groups, really, but... we seem to only care about one of those groups, because if you include the other group you might end up accidentally defending an illegal immigrant and that could get tricky...)
