I believe in double standards, and it just shouldn't be applied the same based on gender sometimes.
Take for instance this gym teacher who was just arrested for raping a 16 year old on numerous occasions. Although that may be the legal charge, what it is called and what probably happened are probably two far different things.
Below is a comment from an online article on the story:
The PC crowd just loves to use loaded words when it suits them. 'Rape', 'Abuse'. Usually, the truth is that the juvenile was seduced. No need to hold a gun or any other form of intimidation or bribe to a boy's head. Offer sex and you've got him. And that's the way it is with some girls, too, I think. Although I wouldn't know from direct experience. Don't get me wrong.
I don't think there should be any draconian measures taken in cases where no violence, imprisonment, drugs, intimidation, or bribes were used, and no pregnancy or STDs resulted. In other words, if it's fully consensual sex with no injury involved. Although it shouldn't go unpunished. And the adult definitely needs therapy.
I really see nothing wrong with a double standard when it comes to sexual seduction. It's far more likely that a girl would have lasting negative effects than a boy, and those cases should be dealt with more severely.
