“You’re lack of HTML skills is pathetic.”
You are correct.
My point is and has been since the start of this is that a 15 year old male is old enough to be responsible for his actions. But he is being treated like some kind of “victim” and I maintain that he is not. He is a willing accomplice and is equally responsible for engaging in the immoral behavior as the 23 year old.
The 23 year old goes to jail on the premise that the 15 year old is a victim of something. THAT is what I find ridiculous.
Saying he is not a victim does not equate to any of the following:
15 year old boys should be having sex with 23 year old women.
15 year old boys should be having sex.
23 year old women should be having sex with 15 year old boys.
I have not once condoned such behavior. What I object to is the “victimization” of the teenage boys who have sex with older women. They are not victims, they are willing participants.
I don’t think a 15 year old should get off scott free for engaging in this kind of behavior, do you?

So as I understand it...
All 15 year old boys are mature and responsible. They are never victims, and are in fact always the aggressor.
Conversely, all 15 year old girls are immature and irresponsible. They’re just women, and not to be blamed. They are always victims, and are in fact never the aggressor.
Does that about sum up your self admitted “double standard” regarding statutory rape of minors?
I avoid all this angel/pin nonsense by just being against child rape...no matter the circumstances.
