Not different laws for different people, but different laws for different situations. It clearly isn't a double standard, as I said. It's two different standards for two different things because, among other things, our culture decided to protect women's sexuality more than male's sexuality.
One reason, of course, is the different consequences of sex by the sexes. A woman bears a burden that a man doesn't bear: pregnancy.
""A woman bears a burden that a man doesn't bear: pregnancy"
Well, now you're opening up a whole new can of worms. Maybe stated better that a woman bears a burden that an irresponsible man doesn't bear. Of course I understand the physical demands of pregnancy but it goes both ways. Believe me I was physically demanded upon at the time. No need to take me to task re: woman physically carries child and relative the male has far less burden regading this. I understand...
Until not very long ago, you would have been absolutely right, and this is a reason our laws reflected this difference.
As we all know, however, our society has carefully eliminated any except minor differences in this regard. Most women, even many teenage girls, use contraceptives that prevent their becoming pregnant, and abortion is legal to quickly eliminate any pregnancy that occurs.
