Affirmative action is a contradiction(reverse discrimination, reverse racism). The recent court ruling overturning Sotomayer’s decision is just one battle, the war against affirmative action is far from over.
Women are not seen(rightfully or wrongfully) as aggressors in these older woman/young boy relationships.
These women generally use seduction and not coercion<-— And that is the key difference why women are not given the same heavy sentences as men.
As someone who, a long time ago, was once a 17 year-old boy (17 year-olds are men), I can describe what it takes to seduce them - Is she female? Does she have a pulse? - end of seduction.
