I also think it would be interesting to look at society's view of statutory rape in regards to sexism. When an older man has sex with a teen age girl, say 15 or 16, how does the world see it? He's a monster who manipulated that poor girl for his own selfish, deviant sexual urges. What about those women (and there have been quite a few over the past decade or so) who has sex with a 15 or 16 year old boy? We all tell him how lucky he is and what a stud he is. Seriously. Can you imagine the outcry if a woman was raped and we tell her she should just enjoy it or we tell other women they should be jealous?

This reminds me of the ex-cheerleader turned high school teacher that slept with one of her students. As a reward for pleading guilty she had all felony charges dropped against her which meant she would spend no time in prison. All I could think of when I saw this on the news was the outcry there would be if a man who fucked one of his underage students was allowed to go free.

If you think that's bad, read this story and then read some of the comments.

I've heard the story might not be true, but that's not really the point. A robber, male, broke in and was promptly attacked, tied up, drugged with viagra and raped for three days. Yet, the comments, those are all telling him what a stud he is. If a woman was beaten, tied up, drugged and raped for three days, would anyone be telling her what a stud she is? Would anyone claim to be jealous of her?
