If the genders were reversed here and he was 19 and she was 17, lots of people would be wondering whether it was statutory rape. I don't think it should be regardless of whether the underaged party is male or female, but the fact that there is no discussion about it is telling.
Date rape drugs are largely a myth: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1223134/Young-women-fear-drink-spiked-just-alcohol.html
Another example of the little double standards that have always favored females. Boys forced to swim nude in high school gym class: "Everyone was traumatized by it . . . ." http://www.suntimes.com/news/brown/1848023,CST-NWS-brown27.article
If this hate comment were directed to any other group, it would be condemned -- and look at the spin the senate candidate put on it: http://cbs2chicago.com/politics/senate.candidate.ally.2.1273511.html

'Do We Need Another Rich White Man?'
What a shocker! I thought we'd left kind of bigotry in the last century. Let's try this on for size:
Do We Need Another White Man in politics?
Do We Need Another Black Man in pro-sports?
Do We Need Another Jew in Academia?
Do We Need Another White Women in Education?
"Stupid White Men" - Michael Moore
If i publish a book called Dumb Black Woman, it would never get printed. I'd likely be arrested for some type of hate crime and the public would roast me alive.
Race/Gender equality just isn't.
Michael Moore has a movie out about now about how capitalism sucks.
He will earn millions from this movie, and probably will not donate it all to the proletariat.
I think that if a girl is 16 or 17, it shouldn't be statutory rape unless the guy is 21 or over.
A bit late in the game for this thread, but here's another one for the "Short Takes"
Recently, a girl in Missouri went missing, and then was found, murdered.
Earlier reports noted that the suspect in her murder was a teenager, which quickly morphed into a "teenaged boy" in subsequent media accounts.
From my own perspective as an MRA and one who holds the Main-stream Media in low regard, I never-the-less was taken in and simply figured that a teenaged boy was the murderer.
But...
Now we learn from the filing of charges with the court that the suspect is, in fact, a teenaged girl:
Teen Girl Reportedly Is Missouri Child's Suspected Killer (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,570055,00.html?test=latestnews - since links I've been inserting are tending not to work correctly)
slwerner,
And that is the biggest problem to overcome, societally. It has been so hammered into us that it is the big bad men who are always the culprits, that I have to wonder how many unsolved crimes are in backlog or cold files, because they never look further than the male suspects.
The Sandra Cantu case in California is a good example. They investigated all of the men, and when that didn't pan out, then they went looking. It was then they found melissa huckaby.
I think it has been so ingrained into our collective subconcious, that it will take many more years for us to break free from the man=bad/woman=good equation.
It's too bad there will be massive amounts of victims because of that.
To be fair. Miley Cyrus was going out with a 20 year old (she's 16) and not much was made of it. Rules are different, it seems, for celebrities.
It could be so many crimes are not solved because of the intense search for the MAN who did it.
