This NZ law seems to have gender discrimination...

They believe that while women can be violated by force, if a man (or boy) became a father then he must have been aroused. He must have wanted and enjoyed it at some level. Therefore, "seduced" rather than "raped". And only his being underage makes it statutory rape.

Which is just... completely untrue.

Also if a man did EXACTLY the same thing that the woman in that article did, not using physical force but instead pressuring the child to do as wanted, then that's most certainly going to make him a pedophile. And it attempts to give the impression that the child allowed it under their own will.

Rick, is that a current law? I thought the law was changed, according to the news article.

Although in hindsight, this thread probably isn't a very good one, I'd completely overlooked the fact that it could potentially break rules/upset/offend people
