I think what Tuthmosis is observing is the hypocrisy in our society regarding absurd morality standards imposed on men and not on women.
In the USA, we tell our boys often that the way to a girl's heart is through kindness. "Be a gentleman", they say. "chivalry is not dead", they say. If you're kind to girls and try to make them feel good about themselves(read: if you're the biggest beta male you can be), you'll win a pretty girl's heart someday. Then you can get married and live happily ever after with your 2.5 kids and mortgaged home.
We tell our young girls something entirely different. "You're special for you", they say. "Don't ever take any shit from a man", they say. "Live your life for you". "Don't EVER settle". "Don't give too much power to a man-remember the rules!" "Don't let a man tie you down-explore you for you and have fun!"
So here we have an interesting juxtaposition. On one hand, we are telling young men to play by much older rules of conduct, tying themselves down with the chivalry and provider roles tied to and designed for men from several generations past. We are trying to reign in male sexuality.
On the other hand, we're telling women to play by brand new rules. We want them not to be tied down by men, especially the overly nice, gentelmanly "nice guys"(hordes of which we're simultaneously creating) who might tie them down before they've had their fun and maybe even convince them to (gasp!) settle like women were forced to do in the old patriarchy. We are trying to remove all limits on the expression of female sexuality.
We like to build nice guys, and then make it very tough for them to compete by giving girls different rules and not letting the men know about them. We sexualize and openly encourage sexual expression/freedom among increasingly younger girls, but we expect men not to look at them(those are the rules we give them, and they're shamed from an early age into following). Younger girls are infantilized to an extent so men will know not to touch them, while they are sexualized at the same time. The paradox is perplexing, but all too real.
This whole scenario Tuthmosis outlines here is indicative of all this. Females have taken the rules they've been given so deeply to heart that they're playing at a much higher level in their early-mid teens than even older men can hope to-the game is completely rigged in their favor. Guys are ignorant by design.
Males have taken their own much older, antiquated rules to heart. This has forced them to a) become completely oblivious to just how damn good these increasingly younger girls are getting at this rigged game they play and b) brainwash themselves into thinking that it is wrong, creepy, weird or just plain psychotic and ill to think of these girls as sexual beings, even though these girls clearly consider themselves as such, behave accordingly, follow their own rules to a T ("never settle, explore your options freely and often and have fun!") and even though it is pretty natural for a healthy male to think in such a way about girls that age.
And of course, even if a man does figure all of this out and is able to break out of the matrix by a) recognizing the games these girls play and b) playing it with them and recognizing these young female players as sexual beings, he can easily get screwed. If he even touches these girls, he can end up in jail with a scarred reputation for life. He is damned if he follows the rules and damned if he doesn't.
Of course, what he'd be doing would be natural, and these girls(as good at the game and aware as they clearly are) would do everything to elicit his attention, but the game doesn't care about that. These girls will often openly pursue and only fuck much older guys, and they will seek out illicit drugs/alcohol in the process, but the game won't care about that either. Females can have no true responsibility in this game, because that would make it too easy for them to lose. The point of all of this is to give females of all ages maximum freedom with minimal consequences. Only men are designed to lose this game.
The girls in Tuthmosis' analysis are great examples: they have all the freedom in the world (do whatever drugs they want, fuck guys of a wide range of ages, flirt with lots of guys, etc, etc-all is acceptable for them). They've gotten good at using these freedoms, and nobody will shame them for it(read: zero consequences). Even if their future husband were to find out about their wild and crazy exploits and become uneasy, he'd be shamed for it, not her("That was in the past-she's matured now and had her fun! Man up!").
On the other hand, any guy over 18 who deals with them (and, keep in mind, these are exactly the guys they want to date at 14-15) will bare all of the consequences legally and socially.
This system sets men into a state of willful ignorance (giving girls one set of rules, men another, and not helping men understand the other set), encourages girls to take advantage of that ignorance and the naive betatude that comes with it (punitive alimony, child support, and other ridiculous family laws along with shaming calls for men to "man up" and be "gentlemen" in spite of claimed equality of women) and then makes it legally very difficult for a man to win even if he catches on (silly age of consent laws and a ridiculous degree of shaming for men who break the mold).
Bottomline: The only way to really win the game is not to play, it seems.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.
