Just in case you were wondering why it is that there are a lot of men who are increasingly cynical about women being held accountable for sex crimes and mistakes, I offer this example:
A female high-school substitute teacher in Utah will serve no time behind bars for performing oral sex on a 17-year-old male student, despite comments from the judge that a man would have likely gone to prison.
"If this was a 29-year-old male and a 17-year-old female, I would be inclined to order some incarceration," noted 3rd District Judge Mark Kouris during sentencing yesterday for Cameo Patch.
Now, granted, all she did was give him oral sex, but the judge clearly admitted that he was applying a double standard. He is guilty in his own right for not applying the law properly, but when was the last time that you saw a feminist arguing that such a woman should be sent to prison, like a man would, out of the principle of equality before the law? Ha! Fat chance you're ever going to see that happen in this universe (though it might happen in an alternate one).
The writing is on the wall: the double standard just isn't going away. But... maybe it's more of how it was written...

Interesting.

*la, la, la, la*
I don't think you posted your comment correctly. The only non-duplicate comment that I have ever deleted was one that an *ahem* bonafide sexual deviant posted on a blog post of mine about MySpace. I haven't deleted anything you've posted.
Well, darnit!
I messed up, I guess.
Not sure how, as I am pretty amazing, typically.
Oh well.
Thanks for the enlightenment, lil man :)
Salut,
