I must not be making myself clear. I raised some public policy reasons for the general proposition that female sexuality must be guarded and protected more than male sexuality. that position is valid for numerous reasons.

It explicitly didn't present the pregnancy issues as the exclusive reason at all. If you reread the posts, I say there are other concerns. I have no idea what makes you think I exclusively rely on the pregnancy issue, when I explicitly state that is one factor and that there are others.

Emotional harm suffered is a different issue, and I don't defend that when it's part of the fact pattern. I also explicitly said that when an abuse of authority issue presents itself, it is an issue.

The public policy point you seem unable or unwilling to cope with is that our culture values the protection of female sexuality more than a male's. That you may have a different opinion is fine - most of the rest of us traditionally have seen and understood the difference.

If the culture and tradition is changing, that's fine. That's civilization for you! :-)

I agree 100% that a woman's sexuality is treated and 'protected' differently and I am glad and I do not have issue with this.

My issue is really application of law and penalties on a case by case basis. It seems that ALL females who molest minors are given a pass while ALL males end up in the slam. I just can't believe the specifics of every case are identical. I do not even disagree that there exists what you refer to as public policy. Doesn't mean that I agree with it.

you state "most of the rest of us traditionally have seen and understood the difference."

Now you sound like a politician. (no disrespect, simply I had to comment on that one!. Who are 'most of the rest of us', is the question you beg)
