Most of those guys are just joking around. Though, that does seem to be the view regardless.

:D
I would get my blogging privs removed if I said what I felt.

If society doesn't give a crap about women who screw underaged kids, that law should be codified to say 'if an adult male has sex with a child, he gets gang raped in prison' and not mention anything about females. that way the crime does not exist and they cannot be charged.

The sad thing is she'll get a slap on the wrist compared to what a man would get. Equal under the law my ass.

The double-standard of responses for women who have sex with underage boys and men who have sex with underage girls is ridiculous, yes, but I think is more of a statement against the absurdity of statutory rape laws as they are now written (and how a 17.99-year-old magically develops the ability to consent the next day). I think an examination of all of the circumstances (including how the willingness of the kid) IS more appropriate rather than just throwing away the key on all the women who do it just because we do the same with men.

:D
I started to yell at you but I realized that I still trust the justice system despite it being a government organisation (that said I will still vote to acquit ANYBODY regardless of evidence if I were ever put as a member of the jury, however unlikely that might be).

The problem I think is that it's not a double standard per se (as the situation is only similar if you generalised it) because we perceive men to be incapable of being raped, as the subject indicates. A woman can completely appear to be consenting to a sexual act and then either under coercion or because she 'changed her mind afterward' seek recompense under the guise of being raped. The reasoning for this is numerous, from viewing men as the active agent in a sex act to excess rights granted to females as de facto eternal victim status characters in 'society'.

This active agent argument might be the only way I can successfully argue that it is okay to be a rape victim while drunk (female) but not be a rape victim while male (active agent) - a drunk driver is still the active agent - a man who has sex is the active agent (because male).
