Oh great. So freedom for women, equality, is living off some man's paycheck.

Hahaha, silly you, what i meant was with women receiving equal pay, they can now provide for themselves, Therefore not suffering financialy without a man to take care of them. Thats what i think is wonderful. You have to remember that in the past, women were trapped in their relationships and "Gender dutys" by such forms of no financial independence, not to mention, physical abuse.
The feminist movement helped liberate women from such lifestyles, but at the same time, didnt force them to use their new libertys.

Now before we get too far off track here. I am in now way conding child sexual abuse.
But did you know that in NY state, if you are 16 years old, and you have sexual relations of any sort with another 16 year old, you can be tried as an adult for sexual assault/rape of a minor?

I understand that your speaking hypotheticly
As for that law, no i did not know that (I'm from the UK)
What are the chances of that happening? When you think of child abuse, i'm sure many people would see the abused as a child rather then a minor.
Two consenting 16year olds having sex? Well, i'll let their parents have the final say on that, however, an adult having sexual relations with a child who is to young to make a mature decision about the situation i have a HUGGEEE problem with. I'm sure their parents would have to.

Actually, statistics prove that men were murdered by their wives much more frequently in years past. And the most comprehensive studies show that woman are at least, or more physically violent than men in intimate relationships.
But for the record, I have no problem with equal pay for equal work. However, in my experience, woman are shown favoritism in job placement and salary. Your notion that women are underpaid is a fallacy perpetuated by the Feminist agenda.

Women have been abused for labour for centurys, now we live in a time when they can earn the same wage as a man for doing the same job. Equal pay for equal work? Thats fine with me
Just a 2nd note on those stats your reffering to, do you accept the possibility that domestic violence was under reported in previous decades due to lack of help from both the law and other charities dedicated to helping women leave violent relationships?
SUMMARY: This bibliography examines 275 scholarly investigations: 214 empirical studies and 61 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 365,000.

An Women fought for and won equal pay. Battle over.
Indeed, women now dont risk destitution if they leave a relationship as they can become their own wage earner. Thats the point i was trying to make
Men are FAR less likely to report that they are the victim of DV.
Men are also more likely to leave abusive relationships early on, thus their need to report violence is only over a small passage of time. You dont report a crime months after its occurance do you?

I find it incredibly hard to believe that the chances are quite high. Tis unheard of in the UK, an 18 year old sleeping with a 15 year old? That wouldnt even make it to court, not in the society we live in when its perfectly normal for a 15 year old to want to get laid and may prefer someone who seems more mature.

Happens all the time here. 18, 19, charged frequently and sent to prison. Not females though. They get a pass every time.
