double standard

Not a perfect double standard for teenage sex, but close
Last week in Sheboygan, Wis., a 17-yr-old girl got busted for consensual sex with a 14-yr-old boy, and a 17-yr-old boy got busted for consensual sex with a 14-yr-old girl; the 17-girl was charged with a misdemeanor and the 17-boy was charged with a felony. Yeah, the first was girlfriend/boyfriend while the second was boy/runaway-girl, but still . . .. Sheboygan Press

Boys/Men ALWAYS get the raw end of the deal.
It's truly a shame and I don't understand what has happened to society in this regards.

I didn't realize that women were allowed to do this sort of thing, or at least that they wouldn't be seriously punished until after they became teachers.
