Do sex offenders deserve a second chance?

It's an interesting issue to raise, though. Women tend to get more lenient sentences for sexual offences. For example, a guy here in the UK received a six-year custodial sentence for manually stimulating a willing 15-year-old. Around the same time, a women who had managed to pass herself off as a man seduced several young teenage girls (in separate incidents) into bed (the youngest was 12 or 13), always insisting they do it in the dark and then using an artificial phallus of some description to penetrate them. She got three years.

At the same time, men who have experienced genuinely abusive predatory sexual behaviour from adult women often complain that they are not believed. It's almost as though society is intent upon superimposing it's narrative onto their stories. 10-year-old boy abused by a woman? He must have enjoyed it! 15-year-old girl engaging in willing sex with a man? He's a vile rapist!
