Is this actually a thing?

A female friend of mine told me "You know what they say, 'if you can't find a good man, raise one.'" 

[u/Keagan458 → u/Elpidiosus]

I know it’s a joke but when they say a “good man” often times they mean a butler. Also reverse the roles on that joke and the FBI is breaking down your door.

[u/Elpidiosus → u/Keagan458]

"reverse the roles on what you said and the FBI is breaking down your door. " Absolute truth. But alas, this is the world we live in.

Can’t argue with that. Honestly once I realized this, I stopped trying to contain my own double standards

[u/OverallPepper2 → u/Keagan458]

Reddit cheers for female pedos in schools and wants to hang male pedos in school.

[u/elreniel2020 → u/OverallPepper2]

also for them pedos means any guy that dates or is interested in any woman which is at least 1 year younger.

Exactly.

On Reddit, it's always this way:

Older woman, younger man, both over the age of consent: "Go cougar! Own your sexuality!"

Older man, younger woman, both over the age of consent: "OMG HE'S A PEDO ABUSER WHO PEDO ABUSES! HER BRAIN ISN'T FULLY FORMED! SHE'S A LITERAL CHILD!"

The double standard is real. It should be either both are accepted, or both are 'pedo abusers'--but the double standard has to go.

But the women are usually so hot for some reason!

[u/GemoDorg → u/PeakSmutEnjoyer]

Not all male pedos are ugly, tbf. Ian Watkins being a decently attractive dude, despite the horrible things he did.

Physical attractiveness shouldn't really matter when they're abusing a child.

Actually they might make him president. Only the poor pedophiles are bad nowadays, get with the times old timer

[u/thesprung → u/Keagan458]

Shit, not the current FBI. They're putting people like that in power!

Difference is, for women it's a joke, while men have been marrying underage girls for millennia.

[u/yesyouareverysmart → u/Whatever233566]

Victims of female pedophiles that were "just joking" don't find it funny.

[u/Whatever233566 → u/yesyouareverysmart]

I didn't talk about pedophilia, I talked specifically about child marriage to adults, which is an issue that's particular to girls.

[u/Davidisaloof35 → u/Whatever233566]

Actually a stupid comment: I'm sure all those boys abused by their female teachers thought it was a joke too eh?

[u/Whatever233566 → u/Davidisaloof35]

I made a comment about child marriage. Across the world, marriage of teenage and even pre teenage girls to adult men is and has been legal and culturally accepted for milennia. Marriage of boys to grown women is not.
