I apply a double standard

[cebeu]

Listened to this at drive time today and…yup...I apply a double standard. Cant’ justify it, can’t and won’t try to defend it but…I definately apply a double standard here. I’m good with my position and reconcile it with no problem. If compelled, I could even argue in support of it to an extent.

I’ll side-step the “positions of trust, psychological, emotional, developmental, physical and consequences” topics associated with this but…me...in general...

• 31 year-old male, regardless of his role in life, having any sexual contact with a 16 year-old female? I would try to be the first in-line to beat him mercilessly if I could get away with it. I just can’t accept that.

• 31 year-old female, regardless of her role in life*, having protected sex with a 16 year-old male? While I would struggle to ever advocate it, I just have no problem with it.

Throw some arrows…


* DISCLAIMER: I have to say this though, the one aspect of this specific example I can't reconcile is that she was in a direct role of authority (her student).

Now let's say you're the father of said 16 year-old male.

Overtly I'd apply a double standard and [figuratively] whip his ass, internally I'd be fine. I'm NOT qualified to answer that though Bailey but...sincere answer.

I'd ground him if his mother were around, and high 5 when she wasn't looking.

But yes.. flipping the situation.. 31yr old male.. 16 yr old daughter.. he'd be dead.

We know this is a double standard, but as men we are OK with it because we know women are dumb and easy to manipulate.

I hooked up with a teacher when I was in HS. BFD, she was hot, that was that, didn't' see it as a big deal.

I agree with the double standard though.
When I have kids, and I find out they lost their virginity....
Son gets a high five and "so how was it?"
Daughter gets a "wait here while I grab my shotgun and you can go introduce me to him"

And once again I sit here and wonder why there are so few women on this board...

Well because they can't take a joke..

I would say hi-fives and cold beers.

so on their 18th birthday, girls magically turn into women and are ready to procreate?

nature disagrees, as does many cultures.

I'm not saying it's ok to pork preteens, but you can not deny that americans are prudes.
