It’s not a matter of gender, but of money. If you pay for sex, then it’s prostitution, which is illegal.

The woman gets arrested too, but is given a fine and put back on the streets! LOL! Maybe it’s revenue for the County! If they put all the Prostitutues in jail, they would still ply their trade inside prison walls! What’s good for the goose, should be good for the gander! Right! No equality there!

I’m not sure what law says that a man cannot approach a woman for sex, but I’m almost certain that all sexual harrassment/prostitution laws do NOT specify gender. Therefore, a man approaching a woman, or another man, or a woman approaching a man, or another woman, are all equal under the law.

That’s not it. If a man goes to a woman and says “hey you want to have sex with me” and the woman says “yes, let’s go” then no one goes to jail. There is nothing illegal about a man approaching a woman for sex. IF a man approaches a woman and attempts to PAY for sex then that’s illegal. BUT a woman can go to jail if she does the same thing to a man.

Since when is having sex illegal? But in any case, a woman can go to jail for whatever it is you say as can a man. There is no discrimination, but women report this more often than men do because men don’t mind or get offended by being offered sex with a woman. Yes its a double standard, but don’t say that some people are exempt from a law.
