you've constructed a straw man- many people care about the inhumanity of incarceration and the death penalty and these men fall under the purview of that activism (not for want of equality but just basic humanity). but why would there be a call for universal equivalence? do we care if the Koch brothers feel marginalized because the world isn't a libertarian Paradise? do we care if Robert Mercer feels like he's not represented? to drive the point home: do we care if Oprah thinks there's not enough day time TV? no. we care about none of those things because those people are not by and large marginalized (neither the individuals nor the groups they represent wrt to those political positions). this is all to say that the people that are most consistently marginalized through out history (and in many meaningful aspects) should get the Lions share of attention. there is nothing odd or paradoxical about this
I often see the fact that people of color are overrepresented in the prison system presented as an example of their marginalization. If overrepresentation in prison is an example of marginalization, then it seems contradictory to say that overrepresentation of men in prison is not a first-rate issue because they are not marginalized.
