Seems to me like some of the problem may stem from the fact that society, as a whole, is more condemning of girls who aren’t virgins than guys who aren’t virgins. ie. maybe priests are targeting young males more than young females because in doing so they believe what they’re doing isn’t as wrong as it could have been? Because they believe it won’t impact boys as much as it’d impact girls?

Or maybe girls are being targeted just as much as males and male sex abuse is just being reported more in the media because it has more of a “eww yuck” factor than female sex abuse?
