Fair enough. But the point remains its perfectly fair to treat different situations differently.

Maybe I misunderstand, and if so I'm sorry, but is it that you feel the punishment in both cases (adult male enjoys sexual tryst with 16 year old female, and adult female enjoys sexual tryst with 16 year old male) should be the same?

I don't think they should for reasons I said. And like I said, I think that's the consensus opinion.

Is it just that you think that while the situations are different and different concerns are at issue, the punishment should be the same? Or that the situations are essentially the same and the punishment should be the same? Or something else?

Well, I hate to sound like a supreme court nominee, but male/female trysts vs female/male trysts, I would look at on a case by case basis and not generalize that all males end up in jail because of some generally accepted concept. Generally, yes, I agree that there is and should be (cultural) differences, however there is much more to it simply than the sex of the offender.

It leads to a question many Alphas may seek:

Since the womens movement had begun in the 1920's and 30's under Soviet propagation, those of that nature had wanted to have "equal rights", and "I can do anything a man can do." Except, it seems, when it comes to breaking laws and getting away with it.

And if they can't make a good lasagna...
