It's often said around these parts that women get a pussy pass to do what they want, and indeed there are some cases where they seem to get a mere slap on the wrist. But are these the norm or merely an anomaly?

Here is a recent case making its way around UK media right now: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/gayle-newlands-punishment-fake-penis-10436135

A woman pretending to be a man in order to have sex with another woman was sentenced to eight years in jail for three counts of sexual assault.

What are your views on this case and what does it say about the idea of a pussy pass in general?
