Can't help but think this is backward thinking

I like how the guy uses an image macro from a South Park episode that explicitly mocked the exact thing he is saying.

This video, watch the whole thing, it's so powerful.

Enh, I gotta ask.

If you willingly do something (granted with 17) can it really be called rape?

Yes, statutory rape maybe, but I really wouldn't put it on par with violent rape.

It's forwards thinking. Just wish all the girls kept their mouths shut when that cute/intelligent guy fucked them right and made them feel oh so good. I knew plenty of girls who were crushing on guys 10-40 years older than them in high school. Not my fucking problem, after all, girls mature earlier than boys. They knew exactly what they wanted and what they got.

Men in our society acting macho about things they know nothing about based on what they've been trained by society.

Nothing new.

sounds more like you should reduce the age of consent to 16 like the rest of the developed world. but yes, rape should be taken seriously, but for that to happen the definition of rape have to be narrowed (like this post from facebook shows).

I think you're fighting the wrong battles. Ask how many 17 year old lads would have sex with their attractive teachers you'll find it's around 100% If we want to attract the next generation of MRAs this is the wrong way to do it. Go after stuff like paternity rights, court bias, suppression of boys' natural energy etc

Actual rape culture. Feminists take note, when girls are told how lucky they are that the hot 30 y.o. teacher picked them then you can use that phrase to describe social attitudes towards women and rape. Until then shut it.

I think, by and general, we are the MHRM are a libertarian movement, and therefore we respect people should be given more freedom. That means being less harsh on consensual sex. The major problem is, if the genders were reversed, then there would be hell to pay for the older male involved - that's the problem the MHRM has - the sexism in it all.

Whether it's consensual or not, damage is being done.

Never mind about her dallying around with her students. Fire here because her English students are using "of" instead of "have".

I don't know about a 17-year-old. Personally, I feel that's old enough to know what you want to dip your stick in.

I don't think a teacher has any place screwing a current student, of course, same as why it's a bad idea to hook up with a manager / subordinate. Hooking up with a past student is mildly creepy, but if it's consensual, I don't really see the problem in it.

And before people blast me about "well it's not consensual if he's a minor!"...

I think that if we're going to acknowledge high school kids as being sexually mature enough to bone each other / not prosecute rape cases all over the place, then we can't really press rape charges against a teacher for sexing up a 17-year-old.

The national averages for losing one's virginity in the U.S., IIRC, are 17.4 for men and 16.-something for women. Assuming that's accurate information, the majority of the U.S. are technically rapists.
