What obstacles do teenage boys face when seeking justice for assaults committed by adult women...?

...that teenage girls do not face when assaulted by grown men?

A 23-year-old woman was caught on video while she assaulted a 17-year-old boy at Connecticut's Hammonasset State Park in May, yet she has avoided jail time.

    Many refuse to recognize male on female violence or statutory rape of boys. Consider that one gender studies department at Queens University in Canada even invited a feminist speak to lecture on why older women molesting young boys is really no big deal and shouldn't be considered a crime.

    Many people (mostly radical feminists) do not believe female on male violence is a big deal, even if it is an adult woman attacking a minor.

    Douchebag juries who don't care that it wasn't his choice (usually female-on-male rape apologists). Douchebag judges that don't recognize it as a crime.

    Ridicule and victim-blaming from the public, maybe even his friends.

    Male victims of rape (teenage boys) can be forced to pay child support to their rapist.

    Teenaged boys are often seen as "wanting it," even (or especially?) by their peers and friends. (Google "I think rape is truly hilarious")
