So one of the first non-Brexit things coming out of the new government is reconsidering decriminalisation of TV licence non-payment

A quick look at various media it seems to be being mostly spun as Johnson&co being vindictive after how the BBC handled their election campaign, refusing Andrew Neil/Today etc.
But, I am all for this from a feminist standpoint! This being a criminal offence overwhelmingly affects women more than men - 72% of people prosecuted for non-payment of TV licences are women; if this is decriminalised then you cut total prosecutions of women by 30% instantly. source. Brilliant. You don’t go prison for falling behind with other utility bills; this should be a civil matter, not a criminal one.
I wish this was being reported from this viewpoint though; it is clearly a feminist issue. Or am I missing it perhaps.
