Inequality Aversion: Is Being Wrongful to "All" Fairer Than Being Wrongful to "Some"?

We find that the inequality aversion is so strong in people (particularly among women) that they find systems and decisions that are wrongful-to-all to be fairer, more moral, and better than systems that are wrongful-to-some, even though the wrongful-to-all treatment is potentially one with lower overall welfare.
