It might not make it right but surely it does not make her "evil" for that, right?

Yes, I mean Barbara Bouchet's character in this movie engaged in sexual relationships with male teenagers, besides law and morality, it's not exactly evil, right? And even IF she avoids legal prosecution for that, its not really a TRAGEDY is it, just inconvenience perhaps?

And set also against, for one, a male SERIAL KILLER in this movie, by contrast and comparison, she definitely isn't bad?

And yes we were also sad when that vigilante crowd lynched that other female character played by Florida Bolkan.

But, as disturbing as it may sound to question it even in a "two wrongs don't make a right" type of vibe and style, are we glad that this crowd, for one, like portrayed in this movie, didn't also attack her for it?

Yeah, I hear the ever going "if this was a man..." arguments, OK folks, we've said and asked and told that MANY times, and perhaps there are cultural but also natural nuances here, and controversies (yeah, humans in general will NEVER stop argue and never unilaterally agree like that on EVERYTHING, right, ESPECIALLY to do with SEXUAL issues, correct?) around it, but if you were, cynically, or out of curiosity, to judge the matter on its own, and even yeah, maybe her being attractive does play some role (but let's not get at least TOO carried away here!) in it, at least THEORETICALLY, but also the respectable difference between men and women PERIOD? And those boys certainly did not get hurt or damaged or even insulted by it all either, even if it wasn't exactly "right" and maybe, well, at least BECAUSE of system anyway, not fully "legal" either, but then, even with legal system complications, and she certainly does NOT deserve any other "punishment" for it EITHER...

Oh well...

By the way, can we compare sexual issues with OTHER even legal issues? And compare it to murder if necessary OR if we want? Discuss gradations? And more importantly - come to satisfying CONCLUSIONS in their DISCUSSIONS including online ones these days?
