Women pedophiles always get a slap on the wrist while men are put away for 20 years. Here's another one that gets me.

I see the two crimes as completely different. An adult man who seduces a female student (or a male student) is far more likely to be successful only because of the difference in power. An adult woman who seduces a student is far more likely to succeed because it's what the student would want regardless of whether it's his teacher or a total stranger. Both should lose their jobs and go to jail, but the man's crime is usually worse in fact, and he should go to jail for far longer.

Nice double standard you got there...

“I see the two crimes as completely different. An adult man who seduces a female student (or a male student) is far more likely to be successful only because of the difference in power. An adult woman who seduces a student is far more likely to succeed because it’s what the student would want regardless of whether it’s his teacher or a total stranger.

I have to respectfully disagree with that blanket statement.

If it was a diminutive adult man and an amazonian female student, would the man’s crime not be as worse?

Big Media almost never discusses the M-M and F-F teacher-student relationships, but we have to figure they happen. How do they figure into your power model of criminal severity?

Are you for real? What a ridiculous conclusion. You’re probably a male who who fantasizes about such a situation and is dangerous in his own rite. Cripes.

Can you cite the Constitutional authority for this gender-based double standard?

Just asking

That’s waaaay too much of a double standard for me...

So you've never met a teenage girl?
