"The phrase “lies with a male” is referring to any male, whether he is an adult man or whether he is a minor boy."
In other words, at some point in history, someone tried to weasel out of punishment--but the word "male" was chosen specifically to clarify that it doesn't just mean an adult man. This is saying exactly the opposite of what you claimed it did.
You didn't read the whole thing, did you?
