That’s nothing. It’s not that surprising that societal expectations are wildly hypocritical. What is surprising is that we have laws on the books that are wildly unconstitutional. Despite being challenged in court, lawmakers and politicians refuse to change them.
In the US, only boys are required by law to register for a military draft. There are several privileges that girls and women get that boys and men have to earn through registration. NOT registering and attempting to enjoy said privileges is a crime that could land a man in prison and fined $100,000 or more.
Despite having been challenged in court several times, nothing has changed. The fourteenth amendment was ratified in 1868. The draft become a civic responsibility through “selective service” in 1917. It was unconstitutional from day one. Interestingly, feminists who insist that their movement is and always has been about “equality”, have neither fought to end registration for men nor to force registration upon women.
Nobody cares about REAL institutionalized sexism as long as the victims are male. We’d rather bicker about the imagined slights of the privileged, like who has the societal approval to bang children.

I think people would have been fine with it
It’s about a teenager who has a crush on their friend’s parent. It would be fine either way
Acceptable? I don't it would have ever gotten airplay. So I don't think it would've been relevant. Do you know another Fountains of Wayne song without googling it. I bet most people don't.
good Q. No, like the teachers having sex with male students it’s not seen the same.
Women/girls are still seen as weaker and purer.
No. A boy is wanting a milf by age 12. Couldn't respect that the other way around.
Only if sung by a girl group.
I actually have no clue honestly.
Not sure but I like that song ☺️
Double standard that will never go away.
