Feminist theorists argue that women's experience of deviance is essentially no different from the experience of men.

Feminist theorists argue that women's experience of deviance is different from men's due to the gendered expectations and norms imposed on them by society. Women are often judged more harshly for engaging in certain behaviors, such as indulging in alcohol or sexual activity, and may face greater stigmatization and punishment for deviant actions. Additionally, women may be more likely to engage in forms of deviance that are specific to their gender, such as resisting patriarchal norms or challenging gender roles. Therefore, the experience of deviance for women is not the same as that of men.
