The outcome wouldn't be the same and shouldn't.

There is a widely accepted public policy position that female sexuality should be guarded more closely than male sexuality.

That this public policy position is not shared by everyone doesn't undermine that it has been shared by most people as far back as anybody can remember.

Those who say that this is a double standard are wrong: a double standard is two different standards for the same thing. This is two different standards for two different things.

I respect your point, but you leave out the issue that this woman was in a position of authority which she abused. That negates any special treatment of 'protection of female sexuality' as far as I can see it. Just because I have a wee-wee and she doesn't, means men should be discriminated against in these matters?

A very good point. I guess in my opinion laws should be viewed as absolutes. If statutory rape, say under 16, by an adult is against the law, the law should be for both male and female. Seems to be every week we hear about another union teacher "getting 0ff" with a slap on the wrist.

I'd put her away for at least ten years, but maybe that's just my misogyny showing through...

NOW, NAG, and other lesbian groups must be happy that another one of their sisters doesn't need to follow the laws...

You're right, but you'll never convince some people of that. This is nothing new in the course of history; it just gets more attention now...especially if the female is a hot blonde.
