I just wanna throw this out there. There was a show called Weeds that aired in 2008 or so, and in it, Julie Bowen(the actress who plays Claire in Modern Family) plays a 40 year old woman who has a sexual relationship with a 17 year old guy. The relationship is portrayed as him seducing her and they both enjoy it. You would NEVER see a show portraying a sexual relationship between a 40 year old guy and a 17 year old girl where the girl is not the the portrayed as being the victim. If there was, the network would probably be forced to cancel the show. It should be clear as day to everyone that there is a double standard deeply ingrained in our society and for this reason, we have to step back and reexamine our attitudes about this subject. For example, people who think that a 22 year old guy deserves to go to jail for 10 years for having erotic text conversations with a 16 year old should REALLY think about why they feel that way.
Thanks for this!
