I thought it was quite an interesting remark at the end, "That being said, seduction laws are an interesting case study. They demonstrate how a generally patriarchal, male-dominated society still provided some tools designed to empower women and level the playing field between the sexes." Level the playing field huh? I can ruin your life, and you can ruin mine then eh?

Analysis opens repeating lie that women were historically oppressed, but interesting stuff otherwise.

TIL.

Interesting to see that our social institution of coddling and paying for women has roots of being enforced under penalty of imprisonment.

women have always used sex to control men. Now the whole weight of the government machine is being used to put men who use sex for anything in jail.
