Of course there is a double standard and its a damn good one if you ask me.
The laws were written by men (and most likely men who had daughters). We don't know what goes through a woman’s mind, but you hear about the woman being lonely, needing someone, etc, and this is from other women.
As a guy, if you are going to nail a 14 year old its not because you are lonely, its because you want to fuck the kid, period. As men we know what goes through men’s minds and its pure lechery. The old joke about how horrified women would be if they could indeed read our minds is quite true.
We know what drives men and as such we want to protect our daughters and wives from it.
On the other hand being men, we see no harm if such had happened to us. You got to nail the teacher, hurray! I wouldn't feel emotionally scared or used. The only trap is the falling in love one, where you fall for the first girl you nail (which happens to be your teacher), and it doesn't seem that prison stops that based on past history.
So should I wring my hands at the horrible double standard out there, that somehow there is an inequity between men and women when it comes to statutory rape? I'm not losing any sleep over it.
