Again, the female is shamed. She is every negative word out there. She, seemingly unlike a male counterpart, is a predator. Sometimes society does this odd swing where, if the woman is attractive, we might set aside the persecution to talk about how good she looks. Say she was practically bait for boys. Speaking of, how is the boy treated? Like a damn hero. That’s right, a victim is then painted as this boy who scored the ultimate prize. “Whoa, she’s hot!” “Good job landing her, buddy!” “I wish that was me!” This is all said without any recognition of his situation. He could have been coerced, he could have been just flat-out raped. The reaction his generally the same. That boy is treated like the culmination of every pop culture reference created from Blank Check to FLCL, American Beauty to The Piano Teacher, An Education to Harold to Maude.

I would say that for the majority, if not all to an extent, the boy who is victim of child sexual abuse is never looked as a victim. The same goes for women who abuse children, be them boys or girls, which more often than not are not treated in the same level of ‘monstrosity’ as their male counterpart would.

There are studies that indicate that women tend to get less sentence time for the exact same crime of child sexual abuse, or rape if you will, in comparison with a male who committed a similar crime.

There is this notion, as you aptly called it out, to see the boy of a CSA case being seen as a hero or a stud for “taping on that” (when the perpetrator is a woman and happens to be mildly attractive at the very least). This double standard when it comes to abuse is not doing the victims any good.
