I do hope so.

After all—double standards are for LIBERALS, aren’t they??

Most of the time, yes. But that doesn't mean conservatives have to support the exact same policies for men and women, regardless of the situation.

I don't think there is any unjustified double-standard in being opposed to recruiting females to fill military combat positions, for example. There are some areas where men and women are legitimately different, so in the interests of fairness or common sense it is acceptable to have different policies as far as they are concerned.

Does that mean women should get away with having sex with underage boys? Absolutely not! But I think one can recognize real differences between those situations and older male/younger female relationships without being a liberal.
