It's the double standards that get to me: the consensus that a man who has a sexual relationship with a younger and less powerful women is "abusing" her, while a woman who has a sexual relationship with an older and less attractive man is legitimately pursuing her own interests. The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky saga is a case in point: the consensus now seems to be that Bill acted badly, and Monica was a victimized innocent.

Yes, logically it's a double standard.
