More whites are executed than blacks. As much as 4 points more whites than blacks.

Men murder on average 8 times for every murder perpetrated by a woman. The homicide rate "gender gap" hasn't closed over the years. In fact it has increased, and this despite a decline in number of homicides. In 1976 the ratio of male murderers to female was 5 to 1. By 1999 it was 9 to1 and at its peak, in 1995, it reached a surprisingly high 11 to 1 ratio.

So to say that the death penalty is anti-male is statistically inaccurate. Women commit far fewer violent crimes that warrant the death penalty.
