I think that kid could have done better, that chick is maybe a 4.

I read this story earlier. There is no f-ing way an 11 year old can be "mature." The judge in this case should be removed and disbarred. This is an incredibly stupid decision.

Beating a dead horse, but I PROMISE had the genders of the victim and criminal been reversed - even with the same evidence and the same testimony, the Male would be in prison for decades.

I think the judge in this case was being realistic, a refreshing change. A lot of guys lose their virginity to older girls because the older girls put out and the girls their own age don't, or didn't when I was a kid. Double standard? Absolutely and I'm glad we have that double standard, sometimes dudes just have to get laid.

sometimes dudes just have to get laid.

Just so we're clear, what you're saying here is -Sometimes 11 year old boys have to get laid?

Different country, right? Their rules aren't ours. Everyone likes to get on Drummond for not understanding us, but my experience is there are a LOT of Americans that don't know jack about Foreign countries and their cultures. You're just another one that wants to judge them by our standards. Our arrogance as a society is our weakest link. I can tell you now 12 years old is marriage age in Thailand.

And you forget where you came from and who got you here. Girls married at 14 in this country and were old maids if not married by 18 less than 200 years ago. Average lifespan was 47 years. I'm not endorsing anything. Just pointing out facts.

For someone who thinks you're a "liberal" you got more rules than Communist Russia had.

Y'all young un's trip me out. I didn't know what sex was when I was 11. I was still playing with Hot Wheels and playing sports and girls were disgusting creatures.

Same here. And while I understand there are cultural differences, I can't imagine 11 year olds being mature enough to ok such situations. That can easily be sexual assault at minimum. Seriously, imagine if this were a 20 year old guy, and an 11 year old girl. The guy would get a 30 year prison sentence. The double standard can't be ignored. The law should be the same regardless of the sex. I'm sure guys at younger ages want to get a notch, but 11 is a tad young, and 20 is a tad high. But hell, that's just my opinion.

Don't even get me started with the Islamic cuckoos who believe even younger ages are a-ok.

I don't imagine it. I have little girls. Now wire my temper into the mix. There wouldn't be any going to court crap. And I DO look at it the same either way. Punishment should be the same. For some reason, women get more of a pass, but which laws don't they?

Reverse this and make this a 20 years old guy and an 11 years old girl we're talking life and he has to be secluded in prison so he doesn't get a shiv to the kidneys. I see the double standard. Been there as far back as Lucretia Borgia.

oh those crazy Bohemian Europeans..... what a bunch of cheeky sons of kidders they are!!

If, as a woman, I believe males should be held accountable for their sexual choices, then women need to be held to the same standard. I think the judge missed the mark big time. A child of 11 can't make informed choices about their sexuality.

...but ...but... he got a "notch"...

Perhaps I am projecting unfairly but it sometimes seems as if mature males commenting on and considering these stories are harking back to their own adolescence and the sexual interest they had in some lovely older woman - a teacher, etc. These tropes are fodder for fantasy, risque jokes and numerous film and TV shows. Teenagers need to explore their sexuality but appropriate partners should be closer to their own age. A kid this young can't be expected to make an appropriate choice when confronted with such an immediate and physical challenge to his libido

I sort of agree. At 11, for guys, you have no clue what's even going on. Then you have to take our current society into account. An 11 years old can commit murder and be tried as an adult. There's a definite double standard.

As I said, when I was 11 I had no idea what sex was. I played with toys and built model airplanes and fight to us was one on one, fists on the playground. The world's different now. You got 8 years olds running drugs and carrying weapons.

Not saying I got an answer either. I'm a jarhead. I loathe predators. MY answer ain't going to change society. I'm the reckoning, not the change.
