Detailed analysis of court records, especially from the fifteenth century, when they are most plentiful, shows that some local courts prosecuted men more often than women for adultery and related sexual offenses.
For Shannon McSheffrey, the prosecution of male adulterers and fornicators in late medieval London was part of a civic culture that emphasized the duty of a respectable man both to exercise sexual restraint and to ensure that those in his power exercised similar restraint.
When prosecuting illicit sex, these courts, most clearly the church court in the northeastern French diocese of Troyes, treated laymen like clergy. Just as a priest had responsibility for his parishioners’ salvation as well as his own salvation and had to live as a celibate, so too did a husband have responsibility for his wife and himself. Whether a husband committed adultery or his wife did, the blame lay with the husband.

I've read that this treatment was also expressed during the Byzantine empire. So much for "patriarchal oppression of women". Men always had it worse than women.
Christians, especially Roman catholics, I hope you're reading this. Why are y'all so cucked to not punish individual women involved, and why do your leaders continue to mainly suppress men's sexuality when we know that female sexually solely go after 20-10% guys? If you're supposed to be wise as serpents, then why do you tolerate this blatant ignorance and injustice? God must be so disappointed.
