You make it seem as physical coercion is the ultimate. I'd argue mental manipulation is infinitely more powerful than anything physical.Let’s not pretend that a double standard exists purely for non sensical social construct reasons
It’s prwtty easy to see why it’s not the same thing if the genders are reversed. If it’s a 37 year old man and a 17 year old girl together, the girl always has the looming fear that the 37 year old man could physically harm or force himself on her.
Unless the woman is some kind of gangster or Ronda Rousey, you’re not going to convince anyone that this kid ever felt pressured under the duress of possible physical harm or rape. A 17 year old boy isn’t ever getting physically forced to do anything he doesn’t want to by a 30 something woman.
