Possibly, but that would be because it's a more serious offense.
If he had beaten up a female police officer, he would have been eaten alive.

"Wasn't taken seriously at all." So there was no case? No sentencing? Brown is "off the hook"?
What male-chauvinist system? Are you talking about the one that incarcerates 9 men for every woman? I really have no idea what you're talking about.
Did you want special treatment for this case because Rhianna is female and Brown is male? What are you asking for?
Although I personally think the sentencing was a bit light (I would have preferred to see him serve weekend detentions for at least the better part of those 12 months in addition to probation), 5 years' imprisonment would be far heavier than the norm.
The other issue is whether society would benefit from Brown giving back to society and proving himself responsible, as opposed to placing him in a prison population, where he could quite possibly take a turn for the worse. I don't think anyone would want Brown to become worse in his ways.
