Priesthood holders are supposed to protect women--that's a part of the job. As women, we are counseled to sustain you and look to you for leadership and guidance. With that authority comes greater responsibility. Certainly, I have my own issues with the traditional Priesthood/RS roles in our church, but when the men have all the power and they screw up, of course they are going to take more heat.
Essentially, because women can get pregnant and men can't, women will always pay the greatest price for sexual indiscretion. Perhaps the church is just making an attempt to even the score.

I agree with you except to where you absolve the other party of any accountability or responsibility. Were you part of the Utah County prosecutors against the Black football players down at BYU too?
Women are treated with kid gloves in the church, so I'm failing to see the bitching and moaning.
