Why ARE so many women teachers seducing boy pupils? All child abuse has to be viewed in the same way and treated as a crime even if it’s committed by a pretty 24-year-old female teacher.

Given that this article is from the Daily Mail, it is necessary to ask, are they?

Every now and then I see a feminist talk about the rising rape epidemic, even though, like all violent crime, rape is on the decline and has been for a while. We must not make the same mistake.

As usual, "Predators" not "rapists."

Because they can.

Remember, sexual power dynamics don't magically go away just because the people involved are legal minors.

Look, I'm not saying every teenage boy begs to be statutory raped. I AM saying that those teenagers probably jerk off multiple times a day and watch more porn than anything else. Yeah yeah, generalization, yadda yadda. It's a cliché 'cause it's true in most cases.

Most teenage boys DO want to get laid. No, they don't want to get raped, but yes, they do want sex. It's a physiological drive, and a powerful one, especially during puberty and late teens. And it's harder for them to get sex because of sexual power dynamics.

So when a hot teacher not only is willing to give them what their bodies crave anyways, but actively seduces them... well, I know many MRAs have a problem with the "lucky dude" double standard, but when the teenagers themselves consider themselves lucky when it happens - well, there's Your answer.

It always seemed to me to be a return to high school thing. These teachers, themselves barely out of high school, throw themselves right back into the throng of judgy school boys, gossipy girls, and class drama, and they fall back into the loop. It's way to easy these days with social media and email giving people immediate, direct access to all details of their lives, to think you've "connected" with these kids on a personal level, and I think many of these young teachers can't disassociate themselves from the grade school child they were only 4 years ago. People don't change that much from 18 to 22 years old.

They're getting caught. That's all it is. Between technology that these women often use to contact their victims and some of the parents we have today, they're getting caught. Enough people have opened up to the idea, "No, it's not okay just because Tommy is a hormonal 16 year old boy and Ms. Davis is an attractive woman."

if these women get pregnant those boys are on the hook for child support.

If the government is going to put these kids on the hook for child support then the government should punish these women for putting those kids in a life ruining situation.

Assuming there are more female teachers seducing boys and not just more reporting of it. It may be something to do with: a boy is quite an easy target to seduce. My experience is that girls, particularly in their 20's and 30's really do want a boyfriend. If men outside of school are not showing that much interest in them it is quite easy for them to seduce a boy from the school.

At least the right word was used, seduced. These boys are not being raped at all.

I'd say it's inevitable with any human population that a certain amount of pedophiles and ephebophiles (or however it's spelled) are inevitable. It's just that we're actually talking about women doing it now and paying attention when it happens. Just like the religious institutional abuse cases of the 50s and 60s, it's not that it wasn't happening before, it's just that people turned a blind eye.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2015-06-04T17:02:27+00:00

I'd suspect female predators are just able to get themselves into positions involving young people more often with less suspicion since they're women.

mechdemon · 2015-06-04T17:17:10+00:00

I usually see this type of thing and just not comment, but I feel like I hold a sort of unpopular viewpoint...Am I the only one that thinks this shouldn't be a crime for anyone?

If you have appropriate sex education, you grant young adolescents the ability to have sexual agency at an earlier age. If they have sexual agency, they can say yes or no to who they please, and have the tools to do so without being coerced. A switch doesn't magically get flipped at 18 and you suddenly have the wisdom and ability to be an adult.

I mean obviously rape and molestation are huge issues, but I feel like we've really blown this way out of proportion. I had sex at 15 with my girlfriend, who was 16. I knew exactly what I was doing, and so did she. I think we (the adults of the world) make a tremendous judgement error in essentially saying, "well we're older now, so we know better than you."

I feel like to achieve equality like this is have the court be told the crimes of the accused, of the defendant, and the story. But keeping it all gender and race neutral. Would this be logical? Possible? What are your thoughts?

McFeely_Smackup · 2015-06-04T22:34:36+00:00

I'm sure it has nothing to do with spending the last 30 years telling women nothing they do is wrong, they're owed everything they want, and they're entitled to be treated like princesses while not being held responsible for their own decisions.

nah, I'm sure that would never result in a generation of narcissistic sociopaths.

WordsNotToLiveBy · 2015-06-04T22:56:03+00:00

This happens so much that I'm surprised there is no campaign against it. Oh wait, always the victim never the culprit. Nevermind.

Because the consequences are drastically lower, we know that.
Can we produce a statistic on the claim of this post though?

This isn't about the viewing of the child abuse or the crime, this is about the viewing of the assailant. The implicit motivation behind this tradition of holding women to different standard than other folks is just another form of oppression.

Such treatment only further the construction of "The Other Gender", that there are people, who are subject to laws and trial, and then are women, who are a separate group.
